WHAT TIME IS IT?!?!  Since I boarded back in mid-November, every Monday night before bed, we have had to turn our clocks back, as Central America is an hour behind Florida.  Then, on Friday nights before bed, we turn our clocks ahead an hour.  OK, no biggie.  Well, last night, we turned our clocks ahead ANOTHER hour, to start U.S. daylight savings time.  Again, no biggie.  Now here's the crazy part . . .

for the next several weeks, before going to bed on Sunday and Monday nights, we go back an hour each night, as Central America and Mexico are not on daylight savings time yet.  Then, on Friday and Saturday nights, we go forward an hour each night.

Then, on April 7, Mexico goes on daylight savings time (but Honduras and Belize do not).  So, on Sunday and Monday nights, we go back an hour, then on Wednesday nights, we go forward an hour (when we head up to Mexico), and then on Friday night we go forward an hour.  OY!

Salvador Dali must have been doing this itinerary when he painted the melting clock!
