First and last place to celebrate new year 2009

A new learn for me, thought of mixing here on all-mixed.

Kiritimati or Christmas Island is the first inhabited place on Earth to experience the New Year each year and
Alofi (Niue), Apia (Samoa), Pago Pago (U.S.A. - American Samoa) being the last in the list.

The timeanddate complete list w.r.t timezone UTC is here

Wish all my readers a warm new year 2009; lets wish peace and peace everywhere in this new year.
