Could one cross the International dateline to avoid the Shabbat or some other one day holiday?

What does the internationally agreed upon dateline have to do with Shabbat? As to where, if anywhere, there might be a halachic dateline, that's been a debated and (to my mind) unresolved issue for centuries. One prevalent opinion places a dateline 90 degrees east of Jerusalem, so if you care to miss Shabbat or have two in a row, take a trip to Australia or Mongolia.
