Questions for students at Noble Academy.

  About the time you are returning to classes after your winter break I will be flying to Thailand.  Do you know why my flight to Tokyo will take 13 hours but when I return home on February 14, it will take only 12 hours to fly from Tokyo to Minneapolis?  Asia is known as 'the east'.  Why will I fly northwest from Minneapolis over Alaska to get to Tokyo if Asia is east?   My flight leaves Minneapolis at 1:00 pm on Monday, flying time is 20 hours with a 3 hour layover in Tokyo. But I don't arrive in Thailand until midnight on Tuesday night.  What happened to the other day?
