The dateline here is the International Date Line: an imaginary line in the Pacific Ocean where the calendar date changes. It runs roughly down the 180° meridian, with bends so that some island groups can share a date. If you cross it going west, toward Asia, the calendar jumps forward a day; if you cross it going east, you get the same date again. That is why it can be Tuesday in Japan when it is still Monday in Hawaii. Maps and travel talk use the word this way. There is another English dateline — the city-and-date line at the top of a news story — but that is not this entry.
