In all seriousness, it *really* would’ve been fun to have been at UW as a student during the peak Don James years...and not just because of football, but also to experience Seattle right before it reached its peak.
The Swinging Sixties in London would’ve been fun.
I’m told by my elders that @creepycoug’s Cuba pre-Castro was amazing.
Agree with you DJ on 1920s Paris.
Not sure what decade, but seeing old school Morocco, Egypt, Turkey, or Iran would be incredible.
Check out China, Tibet, or Vietnam before the communists rolled in.
Las Vegas during the Rat Pack era.

Seattle in the 80’s/early 90's was pretty damned tight. You don't know what you've got until it's gone.
60's would have been amazing in NYC, London and Vegas.

1960 in Hawaii, right before the outset of the tourism boom. Still authentic, beaches with plenty of open sand for long walks and perspective.
Shit @DawgsCanDance you must be older than dirt[/s] @RaceBannon . The LA music scene of the 60's- e.g., Beach Boys, Byrds, Love, Doors, Mamas and Papa, Buffalo Springfield, Neil Young, CSN, etc is second only the 1960's London.
The various Laurel Canyon docs out there are terrific.

But weren’t you there?
Yah, i'm with you on that... would have been awesome to have heard the evolution of sound in London in the early 60's... The shot heard round the world.
And the mai tais were still OG formula, and not the current bastardization.
But no Don Ho yet so that would suck.

Chica, I'd go back to prehistoric times, find a cave somewhere in the congo, club you silly and have my way with you caveman style. , id even hunt and gather so you'd have something in your tummy when the ball sauce trickled on down.
