I guess that's why we have GMT (aka Zulu time). Let's see... according to
the Windoze time zone control, Pacific is GMT-8. If you depart at 15:00
Friday GMT, travel for 21 hours, that puts you there at 12:00 GMT on
Saturday. Central is GMT-6, which would be 6:00 A.M.

Unless, of course, it happened to be when daylight savings time switched
over.
