    Remember the television series Quantum Leap with Scott Bacula?
    Though he couldn't come back I hope we can come back from your time travel box? Well I'd like to go back to the 60s when I was a little girl for both of my grandparents would be alive and I loved them and did not get a chance to tell them and when I go back I'd tell them I love them and ask my grandparents so much questions I have today that only they can answer.

    Hmm, interesting, but my time travel is more of the Doctor Who style, albeit without the scary monsters. I'd like to flit around, taking a glance here and there...it would be interesting to have a quick peek at the time when there were five different species of humanoid on Earth. How good to compare notes!

    I can't think of any time I would want to return to I like the present too much, though the option is is not available here I would be tempted to go forward to 2100.
    A day in 1958 my favourite year would be interesting to see if it was like I remembered it I guess :rolleyes:

    I'd like to go back to 1968 and open that door I didn't choose. The one that got away maybe. But then again, maybe that would've been disastrous. One never knows.

    How much time do we get when we travel back? :rolleyes::D

    This is the first time that I was asked this question - where (when) would I want to go with a time machine. Perhaps I would go back in time when I was not born yet, probably during the Spanish era that I had read in history books. The Philippines during that time seemed so exciting with the Spanish soldiers and the Spanish friars ruling our country. Particularly in Manila, life was brisk and economy was great except for the repression (but that is according to the history books which we do not know if factual or not).

    If your machine goes back but not to the future, how do you get back ??

    Rather than physically going back, I would like a viewer like YouTube...You can type in a time and place and view what had taken place there. I would love to see how and where my ancestors lived.

    I wondered when somebody would ask that. It's set to the present day, so while it can return to the present, it cannot go to a date in the future.

    I would love to go back to the late 50's to see my parents again before they got sick and passed away.

    The Roman Empire
    Early America after the revolution, or maybe before, but not during.
    Americas's "Gilded Age" but I would have to be very wealthy.

    In fact I would need to be wealthy in all places except with my parents. Can we have a nice stash of cash?

    OH my goodness , great Question ..Timelord... I really would have to think about this long and hard, there must be hundreds nay thousands of potential places or times in history I'd love to visit...but I must choose wisely dear Doctor...

    In the meantime, the very first thing that came to mind for me was how I would love to go back to Southern Ireland during the great potato famine , where my maternal great, great grandparents had to make the decision to leave their homeland due to dire poverty and relocate to the Scottish highlands to try and find work, and make a new life for themselves. I'd like to visit and see how as poor farmers, they came to make what have been a huge and trepidatious decision .

    I will tho' give this question much deeper thought and get back to you.... Tardis do not leave without me....:D

    Something I'd like to see is how the Egyptians built their pyramids, the Romans Hadrian's Wall and some of the other incredible constructions from ancient times. How, for example, did the Byzantines manage to build Hagia Sophia in the 6th century quicker than modern constructors could put Wembley Stadium up in the 21st?

    Incidental interesting fact: there are more pyramids in Sudan than there are in Egypt.

    I've decided also I'd like to go back to Ancient Egypt when the Pyramids were being built and finally solve the riddle of how those enormous structures were created without machines.. and modern tools as we know them today!
