After a random pull from the fishbowl, the WINNER IS:
ASHLEY RALLOS!
Okay, now I have to tell you. I loved reading every comment on this post, but I was pretty delighted when I picked Ashley’s name and went back to read her time travel wish. Here’s what she said:
Oh dear, within my lifetime?! This is totally random, but I’d love to travel back to Pisa anytime in the 2000s. I lived in Italy from 96-99 and we visited Pisa and the Leaning Tower tons of times (one of my fav places to go!). It used to be open to the public, but then they said nobody was ever allowed to go into it for fear it would be too heavy on the leaning side and one day make it topple. WELL, we found out that just after we left (maybe a year or so?), they re-opened it and now people can go in! It is seriously on my Life List to go back there and finally get into the Leaning Tower haha.
I’ve only been to Italy once, but it instantly became one of my very favorite places in the world. I can’t time travel like Bennett does, so I rely on writing to magically transport me anywhere I want to go. When I was writing one of the key scenes in Time Between Us, there was never a question as to where it would take place: a tiny town in Italy that happens to be close to Pisa! So Ashley, I don’t know what you’ll think about the rest of my story, but I’m pretty sure you’ll enjoy Chapter 27. :)
I’m sending you this world travel/writing inspired gift basket:
