What year would you want to go to first? What would you hope to see when you got there?
What if you had to stay there indefinitely (one way trip). Would you rather stay here in 2010, or pick another time to live in? I would choose to go back to 1996 and get ready to make some serious money on the stock market during the Tech Bubble. The reason I would pick 1996, is that I need to keep my computer security skills in check and would be able to land a great job to earn some $$ to invest in the market. I would then sell all my shares and buy more stocks after the market tanks in 2002. Then ride up the stocks again, and sell off in 2007 before the stock market tanked again and invest in Gold and XM Satellite Radio stock. XM went up close to 500% in the last year. I don't want to go back too far in time because my health issues require modern medicine and I don't want to have inferior medical care of the distant past. |
to much fun and i could correct a couple of mistakes

Quoted: Send me back to the 1940s - I'd like to go back and be a nurse during WWII. And I'd like to have the clothes. ETA: The Monk would have to be a Marine back then, too...and I would have to meet my great-uncle Dan. hmmmm yes the nurses did look smoking hot in those outfits... And for fear of the monk that is all I will say on the issue.  |

Well if it is one way I would go back to my freshman year of high school and do everything right and go to college afterward. Now if it was a two way trip, I would travel to next Friday at 11:45 then come back I just need two minutes. Because then I would have the winning numbers to the mega millions drawing. |
| I would go back to about the year 30 A.D. or so, but only if I could be in Galilee, Nazareth, Jerusalem, etc. so I could personally witness the miracles which Jesus is said to have performed in the Bible. I would especially like to have been present when John the Baptist baptized Jesus in the Jordan? River and a voice from the heavens said, "This is my Son." I struggle with faith, so I would like to have been an eyewitness so I wouldn't have so many doubts. |
Just a thought.|

Civil War, WWI, or WWII. Any one of the epic large scale battles would be fascinating to view. Vickburg, Gettysburg, Somme, Marne, Pearl Harbor, Stalingrad, Kursk, Normandy landing, Bastogne, 1,000 plane bombing raid of Schweinfurt, Ploesti Raid, Midway, Tarawa, Iwo Jima.  If I could take a videocam, all the better.  |
