I would love to go to Penwith (Cornwall, southwest England) at the 
time when all the stone circles, standing stones and quoits were 
erected, to see their original splendour and find out what they 
*really* represent.  This is our favourite play to visit, and the 
mysteriousness of the place never ceases to amaze me.  I'm fascinated 
with the Stone/Iron age anyway, so this would be a double bonus.

If I had any time left I'd first jump to the Dark Ages, and then the 
Medieval ages.  Anywhere in Europe would do.  Then a short stop in 
1550 at the Huron (native Indian) site I helped excavate while at uni 
and the Far East in the 18th centuries.

Or I could *really* overdo it and go back 3 1/2 million years and 
become an australopithecine.  Hey, I'm built like one anyway!  Then 
Meave Leakey could excavate me...

Time Turner anyway)
