The past, so I could see my grandparents again, and look at me as a child when I was innocent and carefree, unlike now.

I am in a time machine, It is called the atman or spirit that animates this space vehicle called a body and I am traveling at maximum speed into the future. I could use the time machine computer, call the brain, and go back in spirit to the past but i prefer to stay in the "NOW" as we glide through time into the furture.

Assuming you have nothing to do with the construction of the time machine you will go to where ever the machine is set to go.(past or future)

Well, it is my understanding that time travels or moves. It appears to move forward, ie: the future. I think a one-way trip in a time machine would be moving forward, into the future. If the time machine was equipped with a reverse gear, then I guess you could travel to the past ;)
After reading other answers, I clearly misunderstood the question!!! Duh on me.

The recent past. 1990 to be exact. Why?
- My best friend killed himself in 1991.
- The stock market exploded throughout the 1990's.
- One of our cats died of cancer in 2004.
- One of the cats we adopted as a "replacement" was killed by a car 2 weeks ago.
So if I went to the recent past, I could rectify many of the things that went "wrong" in my life, be rich, and still live mostly the life I've lived.
But then I'm very content with my life as it is at the moment, so if I had one chance to travel in time, I'd rather spend it smoothing over the things that went wrong, rather than trying to explore some other era.

I would want to go back about 8 years to warn myself not to start the string of stupid mistakes and bad decisions which have plagued my life since then. But, there are things in my life which could not be done again the same way and I want to keep them just as they are, such as my son. It's a tough question and a scenario that I have played out many times in my head, and I suppose many people do the same.

To the past-- absolutely!!! After all- we know something about that!
And-- if I find a way to get a return trip (in spite of your rule)
to the "near: future (do you realize how dangerous that could be?)

Honestly i love living in the present. I wouldnt take the trip. I like to focus on the here and now and try to not worry so much about the earlier and later

One-way trip only, huh?
Definitely the far-flung future. I'm guessing that technology can create me a body that never ages. I will live forever.

I would go three minutes into the past and then tell the original me everything that is going to happen during the next three minutes.

I will go into the past with as much information as possible, pass it along to the likes of the great philosophers, natural philosophers, scientists, so on and so forth....and see what happens when great minds have what we now know at their disposal.
