Tips About Time & Time Zones

Whenever and wherever you are traveling knowing the exact time is not always as easy as it sounds.  It is good travel practice to know the time zones of your destinations before you go, so you can be sure to set your watch and other devices to the correct time.  Most phones will now auto adjust to the correct time based on location, but it is good to know what the difference is from home.  It is also a good idea to understand sunrise and sunset times as they vary greatly in different parts of the world – like far to the north in the summer where the sun almost doesn’t ever set!  Here are a few links to tools to help you understand time on your River Cruise Vacation Your Way!
