That's nearly ideal. I've tried to arrive in Europe somewhere around noon for some time, flying from the Eastern time zone. (There aren't a lot of ways to do this. One time I achieved it through the simple expedient of taking a flight that ended up being delayed by four hours.) Arriving at two PM from California is about the same. If you can stay awake till eight or later, you'll speed up your adjustment considerably. You want to avoid waking up at oh-dark-thirty the next morning.
