As a rule, you take your pill every 24 hours. So if you change time zones, you would take your pill at whatever time it is in your original time zone. In this case, since the time zone difference is only 2 hours and the safe window for taking your pills is +/- 2 hours, you could either take your pill at 6 am or 8 am PDT.
