The US has four "contiguous US" timezones, and two or three others for peripheral things. Not counting stuff like Zulu or the various zones that dont adjust for DST, so technically are distinct.

Hawaii (UTC-10) and Guam (UTC+10) are separated by the international date line.

Alaska, Guam, and Hawaii usually don't come up in my consersations. Don't the Dutch/UK and other countries still own some islands?

You are correct. I was speaking only to continental Euro/US.
