Walk all around the Earth so that I could see and hear and feel and taste and smell every inch of this wondrous planet and all the fascinating people it contains!

Some good answers above about sampling every culture, etc. but that still leaves an infinity of time to find something to do with - unless you revisit cultures that have changed since your last encounter and endlessly circumnavigate the globe?
But then what? At some distant point in the future our Sun will engulf this beautiful (if misused) planet and Earth will be no more - no to mention the rest of our solar system. What then?
Does this immortality come with a 'no suffering' guarantee? Wouldn't you get lonely?
No, attractive as having all that experience would be, I look for immortality in a different form of existence - perhaps one where we could all truly know each other and have as our own all the shared experiences of all who ever lived.
Yes, that would include a very great deal of suffering, so I'm still looking for a form of existence as yet unknown to us here in this brief form of life on this small blue planet.

I'd probably become some kind of scientist.
If one job can be interesting forever, then it's gotota be exploring the universe and molding it's seemingly infinite secrets into cool stuff.
I'd start with oceanography, I guess. Once we'd learned everything about that (Maybe in about 500-800 years, we'd be heavily into space. I'm sure that by the time we've gotten lots of space stuff handled, there'd be new and interesting frontiers to explore and examine.
So I guess I'd become more of an explorer/adventurer by then.
I'd probably be extroardinarilly famous. I would keep bank accounts to compound interest so I'd become rich, and I'd have vast libraries in my houses and in my mind, sop people would see me to find out any forgotten historical knowledge. I'd always have the oppertunity to work as a professor, if things fell through.
I'd read countless books. I'd study everything! I'd know everything! I'd know how to do everything and build everything, and I'd capture information as it occurred. I'd be the most fantastic human being ever.
Uh... Or maybe I'd just play video games and eek by in the lower middle class until something cooler came along, and then I'd get myself addicted to that.

I would travel everywhere! If I were going to live forever, I would immerse myself in every culture and live as a member of that culture until I decided to move on and sample another one.

After learning everything I could, and living in many different cultures, I'd work on Terraforming Mars, then going out to other stars to terraform planets there. Sun's going to go out eventually, so I've got to save humanity, so I don't get lonely.
