Arewethereyet I loved The Tomorrow People! It was called jaunting. I wouldn't go anywhere as the past is the past and we can't change it, for good or ill. I have no desire to go anywhere else as I'm fairly content where I am. A very boring person 😂

Antarctica

Remember the 'Tomorrow People'? I'm still waiting for my special belt that will take me anywhere, anytime.

I would like to go back to meet my ggm and find out where she came from so we can trace her family line. Her life before marrying my ggf is a mystery.

To see the African sky at night.

I couldn’t bear to go back to see my Mum and other dear family members for just one day - even after many, many years the wounds would reopen.

I would like to go back when my dad was alive who died when I was 5yrs old and ask him about his side of the family.

Back to a time when I could meet my late Mum for a chat and to warn her not to meet and marry my late Dad, it was disastrous for her.True, I wouldn’t be here now and neither would my DD’s but it would be worth it.

If going to a place for a day, then Japan at cherry blossom time.

Raratonga. I loved it there, so relaxed and friendly.

Germanshepherdsmum Sun 15-Jan-23 10:21:04

1664 to ask my ancestor who married in that year who his father was - the missing link in my family history.

Back to the 1960s.

I'd go back to the 1960s, a time before my grandmother developed dementia. I'd ask her all the questions about her family and forebears that I will never have the answers to.

A particular day in Anglesey.

If it was to other times, I would like to get just one look at Alexander the Great, who has fascinated me for forty years! If to a place, it would be to the beach hotel DH and I stayed in in 1967. It was very old colonial and romantic.

To Australia to see my grandchildren.

It seems to have been forgotten that a tardis takes you to other times, not just places. So how about going to the Moon to see Armstrong and Aldrin arrive. From out of sight of course :-)

As tempting as it would be to go to the other side of the world, if it had to be only for a day, it would have to be Istanbul - my favourite city in the world after Edinburgh.
But oh, to have a Tardis (or any kind of sci-fi style transportation device) - just imagine being able to whisk yourself away to the destination of your dreams without having to endure the hell of airports etc (I'm not afraid of flying, just hate the whole palaver associated with it).

Singapore and go to Raffles - didn’t make it there when we did a stopover once, so it’s definitely a “to do” thing.

Katyj Sun 15-Jan-23 08:59:17

Oh if only we could. I’d love to see my sister in law and her family in New Zealand. I’ll never get there now though it’s too far and I’m too terrified.

dragonfly46 Sun 15-Jan-23 08:22:29

Definitely Australia but not just for a day. Our Australian SiL is desperate for us to go but I can’t face the journey.

NotAGran55 Sun 15-Jan-23 08:13:25

…and go anywhere and back, just for one day, where would it be?

I would go to Sydney and do the harbour bridge climb again.
