Back in the 60's, this novice tourist had a really difficult time creating his itinerary for the Samoan islands.

Flights into and out of American Samoa (Pago Pago) were every other day of the week.
Flights into and out of Western Samoa (Apia) were every other day of the week too,
but... on different (alternate) days.

You could take off on a Tuesday and land 20 minutes later on a Monday.
Then, it took a round-trip flight to re-set your mental calendar

I think they fixed this just last year when they shifted the IDL,
so now all the Pacific Trust Territories are in the same time zone
