Comment on If I had a time machine I'd rather go back to the beginning of my vacation and live in that loop

If you have a time machine can’t you essentially take a vacation at any resort in any time period? Why limit yourself

I guess you’re right. The main idea was to avoid coming back to work!

Can you only go to where your are now at different times or to places/times in your own past? It’s only a time machine, not a location transporter, right?

i think if you didn’t move locations your vacation would rapidly turn into the movie ‘triangle’ or at least ‘multiplicity’ what with all the yous running around the resort

Even if it doesn’t change locations for you, it does more or less guarantee money is no object (since you could time travel, invest, then go to the future and collect the interest) so you could afford to travel wherever. If you go back far enough I suppose you’d start to run into issues where it takes weeks to cross the ocean or whatever. But that would probably be a less desirable time to vacation. I get future resorts are even better.
