National Wormhole Day Bloghop - March 13-14

Where would you go IN TIME, if you had the chance? Backwards or Forward?




National Wormhole Day Blog Hop: March 14th, Albert Einstein's Birthday. Brought to you by Stephen Tremp, Laura Eno, and Luanne (LG) Smith at Bards and Prophets. Thanks to Carrie Butler for putting together the badge!

Happy Birthday, Einstein!

Imagine this: What would you do or where would you go if you could traverse a wormhole through space and time just once? One safe round trip passage. Would you go back in time or forward into the future, and how far? Would you want to see what the edge of the universe looks like?

The assignment for this bloghop: In 100 words, more or less, tell us what you would do with a two-way ticket to traverse a wormhole.

***DG's Choice***
 
Departure Gate:  Wormhole Express No. 9

Time period: 1000 years into the future, in another constellation far from Earth.
 
Where: Literati World, a readers' and writers' paradise
 
Tourist attractions:

Bistros and Coffee shops to sit and write and submit on site; discussions on current and classic books run continuously. Reservations and translators are required, unlimited coffee, galactic snacks, or wine.

Libraries recreated from antiquity through to our current cultures and beyond. These literary institutions also include the known galactic writings and encyclopedic collections from civilizations on the edge of space. 

(Warning: this post is in the '100wc + more' category)
 
What I would do:

Photograph everything for PROOF I was there
 
Visit libraries of Alexandria, and other centres of learning like MoonBase IV (a future institution)

Rent a PFV(personal flying vehicle) for an aerial trip to photograph future cityscapes
 
Sample the local food specifically designed to sharpen the senses when reading or writing

Test the teleporter that goes to the wormhole ship.

IF that wormhole doesn't wipe my laser photos on the return trip, I'll write a post about it.  Press that button so your seatbelt will buckle itself.

Whether you're in the bloghop or not, let me know where you would choose to go. The galaxies are out there, waiting. . .dream big.
