Let's have a little fun with today's travel post.
Let's assume time travel is possible.*
WHERE would you travel and in WHAT TIME DIRECTION: backward, forward, or sideways (alternate universe)?
Would you want to a see a particular place? Witness or change a historic event? Meet the you who didn't make that really dumb decision back in 1983?
We won't get into morality here. Assume you can go where and when you want, and do what you want while you're there, and come back home (if it still exists) when you're finished.
So there's that choice.
Now.
What if you couldn't come back to here and now? Would you go? Would it change your destination?

Backward, Forward, or Sideways?

2 ate pie:
With option #1, I'd be inclined to go backward and revisit my old self in college. Really live it up without worrying so much. I'd also like to see my parents as children.
I don't think I could choose to go backward with option #2 because I wouldn't be able to come back to my kids. Not really sure I'd want to go forward either. I guess in that scenario I'd just stay put.
I like Julie's idea, to see my parents as children. I also wouldn't mind going back to Biblical times and witnessing some of that first hand, although I don't fancy my odds as a female.
Historically, I've always been fascinated with the Tudors.
But if I couldn't come home? No way. NO WAY.
