    Definitely the future. We could be living on a different solar system among alien races and be genetically immortal. Time travel could possibly be run of the mill that far into the future anyway. Who wouldn't want to experience that?

    Well I wouldn't want to smurf anything I've got going good for me in the present (assuming that is the type of time travel being presented here), so I wouldn't go too far back.. Maybe just one hand of blackjack at a time.

    A very specific sequence of events.

    1. First, travel to the future until I reach a time at which humanity has harnessed invisibility cloaking technology (the real deal, not this "coat-made-of-tv-screens nonsense), shrink/growth rays, teleportation, portable pocket dimensions and Iron Man exoskeletons.
    2. Travel back in time to the birth of the solar system and begin travelling forward through the eons, observing stuff (the oxygen generated by the suit will keep me alive).
    3. Observe the creation of the moon.
    4. Observe Mars for any sign of water and/or life.
    5. Observe the dinosaurs, using the iron man cannons for protection.
    6. Observe the birth of humanity.
    7. How did they really build the pyramids.
    8. Have a gander at all the major wars throughout the centuries.
    9. Pirates. Were they really like the books?
    10. What happened to MH370?
    11. Travel about the universe with the teleportation device and have a look at exoplanets and try to find life.
    12. Shrink myself with the shrink ray and see whether string theory is an actual thing.
    13. Go back in time to the big bang and see if there was anything before it (luckily I have a pocket dimension for protection (note: will need pretty good sunglasses)).
    14. Grow really big and see if other universes really exist and if they do, what's in between them.
    15. Armed with this knowledge, travel back to the present time and teleport around professional football games, pulling players' pants down on worldwide TV every time they dive.

    No. Can't cross my own time stream.

    Lots of moments in history to see: ancient Egypt, ancient Rome, medieval, the renaissance, dem colonies.

    I know a wonderful underwater base in California in the 23rd Century.

    I would go anywhere and everywhere, preferably with a companion. It gets lonely traveling all of time and space.

    On a related note,

    For Chrono series fans, there's a bunch of excellent theories and observations about time travel and how it plays into the games at the Chrono Compendium.

    "Should you be able to visit the Robo who's plowing the fields in 600 AD with the Robo from the future?" and that type of stuff.

    The future, but not too far. Maybe one or two hundred years maximum. Too far and, well, look, nothing lasts forever. That includes humanity. You don't want to end up in the middle of whatever it is that ends humanity! That might not be for thousands of years but who knows. Doesn't sound like a hoot.

    I'd go back and stop Schrödinger from killing/not killing his cat.

    I think in any context I'd go back to about 2003 or something and make sure I didn't waste time and started persuing my dreams then. Like I'd go back and have a long talk with my 11 year old self, or if my mind from right now would go back into my body of that time then I'd just live it all again from there. That would be preferable. I'd do a much better job!
