Ah! I had been looking for this thread. Hooray!
I've always had this desire to see Los Angeles during the turn of the century or any city in it's "infant years". I find that really fascinating. Then go to "the future" and see my city in the 1920s and 1930s.
I would have loved to have seen just about any World's Fair.
I would also like to see Titanic too. Just a nice little tour and then get the heck off the ship before it took it's "fateful voyage"!
I would have loved to have met my heroes Eleanor Roosevelt and Amelia Earhart.
Due to watching Harold Lloyd's movie Speedy, I fell in love with the old Luna Park. It looks so magical.
I don't think I'd ever want to go back in time and change things. If there's anything I learned from Star Trek, changing one thing (regardless of how minor it is and what good intentions you might have) can have a devastating effect on the future. Maybe it's because of those "hard times" it makes us a bit stronger. Plus, it always provides a constant reminder of what lessons we can learn from so we don't make the same mistakes somewhere down the line in the future.
Those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it. Although sadly, some people are still making the same mistakes.
I noticed a lot of people said family (which made me tear up a bit!). I don't know if I'd want to meet mine (worried about having a devastating effect on the future--lol!). I never really knew any of my grandfathers. My Mom's Dad died when my Mom was 16. My Dad's Dad died when I was a baby. I would have loved to have known them. However, would I still be the same person I am today? Hmmmm......
And oh yes. So bringing my camera!!!
