If you could go back in time to any period in history, where would you like to go?

Myself, I would like to visit Europe during the Renaissance. I don't know why, but the Renaissance has always been very appealing to me. :)

I'd like to visit the late 2nd century and take a road trip from Hadrian's Wall to Rome.

Generally, I like the republic better than empire, but 2nd century was Roman civilization at it's most spectacular...

Maybe even meet Marcus Aurelius and get a signed, first edition of Meditations. :D
(better yet, two, one for me and one for eBay) :P

This time last year and I'd have a massive bet on Jenson Button winning the F1 championship.

I'd want to return to 3 years ago, when I can simply withdraw from junior college and relax at home!

I just thought of another period I'd like to visit - 18th-century Europe during the Enlightenment, particularly England and France.

Oooohhhh. I would love to go to medieval Spain, during Isabella I's reign. Possibly around the time she conquered Granada. Possibly also I'd like to visit the Ottoman Empire. During the Reign of the Favored Women. I wouldn't want to be one of the favored women, though. You have to sleep with the sultan and all that. I'd much rather simply be one of the princesses.
