OK.  My route shows arrival and departure times for each waypoint because I
originally put in departure time for the start and then 10 minute
stop-overs for each stop.  Correspondingly, the route properties box shows
arrival and departure times.  But based on you saying those times were
further to the right inside the exported csv spreadsheet, I needed to edit
each waypoint within the route properties box and actually click on the
circle for arrival time (even though the time was right there and it was
shown in my route properties box).   With that completed, I now have the
correct date and Zulu time shown in the exported csv spreadsheet.  Thank
you!
Joe Y.
