Can I share my vacation countdown with my travel companions?
Yes, and this is half the fun. Drop the countdown link in your group chat and you will find everyone checking it as the departure date gets closer. Share it with whoever is going on the trip so you can all watch the days tick down together.
Will the countdown show the correct time for people in different time zones?
