The sweet spot is 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM Bali time, matching 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Portland. Because Portland is 16 hours behind Bali, the shared window is only about 2 hours. A fixed slot at 8:00 AM in Bali (4:00 PM in Portland) saves a lot of back-and-forth. The two cities aren't on the same date during this window — Portland runs the previous day from Bali.
