Time Traveling

I've given this quite some thought since we've discussed time traveling in class. There are so many different times I wish I could travel back to in my life. For instance, I'd love to go back and see myself as a young child and observe how I viewed the world. I think I had it all figured out back then. Of course, It'd always be interesting to go back to when I was about sixteen and had just moved accross the country in the middle of high school. This was one of the hardest times in my life, because 16-year-olds over-dramaztize everything. If I could see my future self back then, I wouldn't look much different at all, but I'd know that everything was going to be fine no matter how much I hated the world. Also, for my present self, it would be fun to experience that emotionally charged couple years again. I think I could only handle a couple days of it at the most, though.

One of the times that I really wish I could relive (if time travel was a bit different than in The Time Traveler's Wife) was when my family and I lived in Germany and my parents would take us sightseeing all over Europe. I was only about 3 or 4, and my sister was a baby. I would have loved to remember all this and actually have known the significance of the sights or been able to appreciate kissing the Blarney Stone and riding a gondola up the Alps. If I could time travel back to this period in time, I wouldn't do it like Henry did, where he found himself naked in a time where he aldready existed. I'd hopefully be able to just be a 20-year old inside a 4-year old's body. Then I could just pretend to say cute little things about airplanes flying by, but really be soaking in the experiences. It would also be an extra perk to go back to a time when my sister couldn't talk yet.
