I think that's pretty hard to do in these post-concord days? Though if you lived close to a time zone border it could be a problem. There are towns straddling the Queensland-New South Wales border in Australia. There is a one hour time difference between the states for half of the year (NSW does daylight saving, QLD does not). I've always wondered how local businesses deal with that.

It is incredibly easy to arrive hours before you leave. Just fly East across the dateline (like Aus to North America). And I've even lost a birthday flying back in the other direction. Great scheduling, that.
