Oh, the rules are that you can't change history, so no shooting Smirk's grandfather.

First place and time I'd go is Woodstock '69.
At least I'd have a place to go out of the rain...:-)

1. September 27th, 1986.
Convince Metallica to fly to their next gig, instead of take a tour bus.

Does that count as changing history?

2. I'd want to go have a look at Jesus. Not that i'd understand a thing
that was being said, but just to see if I could FEEL anything.

Also, maybe i'd go to Nov 3 just so I could relax.

3. Easy

July 16, 1969. 9:32 AM EDT. Cape Canveral, Florida. About 1,000 feet away from Pad 39A. Lift off of Apollo 11.

I would kill to see one of those Saturn V bad boys blast off, and seeing Apollo 11 specifically would just be the icing on the cake.

Oh, and you can probably guess where the next stop would be. Approximately 250,000 miles and three days away.

4. Is it changing history to avoid a personal mistake?
If not, I would most definately NOT go on that campout where I met my first wife. I would have stayed in the dorm room and got drunk like a normal college student... :)

Be nice to visit the Black Hills and observe Dinosaurs in their natural habitat. I'd go in the evening which is about the time the T-Rex was suppose to hunt...
