If you had a time machine , where would you go?

I'm happy with right here, right now.

I try not to live in the past, and I've never wanted to look into the future - it can keep on surprising me ;)
 
1984, 2 years before my dad was diagnosed with cancer. I'd go back and beg him to get a colonoscopy every 3 months so they could have caught it when it started and I could have had him longer.
 


I would go to 1956. I could see my grandparents when they were young, my parents, aunts and uncles in elementary school. It would just be nice to see them little.
 


The heart answer - I'd like to go back and spend more time with my dad. When he was sick, we didn't realize it was terminal. I was so busy with a new baby and work I didn't see him as often as I should have.

The for fun answer - I'd like to back and experience ancient Egypt
 
I would love a day back when my children were young, maybe 3 and 5. I would love to spend a day playing and cuddling again.

I was racking my brain trying to think about what time in history I would most want to see firsthand, what event I would have loved to experience, your answer was a "duh of course that's the answer" -and my youngest is only 2
 
I can thinking of many times that would be fun to see. At the moment I'm thinking since I worked on family genealogy, it would be fun to visit the many different families I researched, see how they lived and acted.
 
I'd go back to May 1983 through August 1984. It very special period in my life when I was in the clubs every night.

I'd also like to relive the 1950's in Manhattan during one of the greatest periods in Broadway history.

I'd also like to visit Hollywood in 1938 and 1939 to experience the filming of The Wizard of Oz and Gone With The Wind. I'd be on those sets every day.

My grandfather died a month after I was born, so I'd go back far enough to meet him and get to know him.

I feel the same way. I never had a grandfather. My moms mom got divorced in the 1940s and I never met my moms dad. I know he gave her a watch when she graduated HS and I know I she got word about 10-20 years ago that he died. I don't know anything about him other then is picture. My grandmother never spoke of him nor did my mother. I only knew about the watch because I used to look thru her jewelry box and I asked where it came from. Italian families, or at least my Italian family holds grudges and do t like to speak of the past.

My dads father died in December 1970. Guess who was born in October 1971...yep me. I was always jealous my sisters have pictures with my dads dad.

Now for me, I would love to go to the mid to late 1800s, Little House in the Prarie Era. I love that time, although I would like to take soap and deodorant on that time machine.

I would also like the roaring 20s because I love the flapper look.

And the lunar landing, I hate that I missed that because I wasn't born.
 
Nov 22, 1963. Stand in Dealy Plaza and yell gun while pointing up to the sixth floor Texas Book Depository.
 
First I want to know...

Can I be assured I will come back from any point in history? How reliable is this time machine? Am I protected, if I accidentally land in some era that's inhospitable to life? I mean, if we're talking the TARDIS, then no way. Nothing against the TARDIS itself, but that guy driving it is totally unreliable, and I'm not going to risk my family thinking I'm kidnapped or dead, just because he overshot the target and dropped me off a year late.

If it's a completely reliable machine... then I want to see what this world looks like ten thousand years from now. Are humans still around? Are they recognizably human? What do our social structures look like? What have we done to the planet? Have we successfully colonized other planets?

The one thing that frustrates me most about only getting to live 100 years (give or take a decade) is the fact that I will never get to see the rest of the story. At least, not as the person I am now.
 
I wouldn't. Haven't you seen all those time hopping movies? They never turn out good lol

I think you might be disappointed with how those days would go...
 
I've joked with my family that if I had a time machine, I would go back to our 1997 WDW trip so that I could take accurate notes about which pressed penny machine had which variation. And press them all, and not assume that just because the coins looked mostly the same, that there weren't variations somehow.
