New Year's Eve's fun fact

Did you know that American Samoa is one of the last places to ring in the new year?

American Samoa is actually the second to last place to celebrate the new year behind Baker and Howland Island, which are both uninhabited.

Some tourists take advantage of the time difference by flying from Samoa to American Samoa to celebrate twice.
