Actually, I'm going to ask for you to be in two places at once.
If you had a Star Trek transporter thingy, where in the world would you wish to be right now...
1) in the realms of fantasy
2) in the realms of reality
In the first option it could be literally anywhere on Earth but second one is based on an achievable notion of your current life situation.
However, you must spoil 2) by using an excuse that you need a babysitter or you have dentists appointment. Forget the consequences - just GO!
Any where.

Oh dear...
Mind you, I know how you feel. I could quite happily be outside the Job Centre with my Tony Hancock biography right now.
I'd like to go back in time to me in my third year of university. Happiest time of my life bar none.
Failing that, I wouldn't mind living in the shopping mall from the original Dawn of the Dead (the shopping mall from before the bikers turn up and bugger it up).
(And nice to see I'm being quoted in your sig, Tuumble! 
)
1) In fantasy - one year from now, just to see how everything works out.
2) In reality - at home working on my book.
Reality - I would really love to be having a Thai massage on the beach in Thailand.
Fantasy - having a intergalatic massage by the big blue man from Watchmen! 
Doooooctorrrrr Manhatten... grrrrr

Form an orderly queue boys!
In Reality - I'd like to be sat by a swimming pool drinking an unfeasibly large cocktail in America / Spain / Portugal with the smell of BBQ food filling my nostrils, all prepared by a tanned bikini clad lovely.
In Fantasy - I'd like to go back in time and sell my flat before the market crashed.
Fantasy - Ankh-Morpork. Or Errol Flynn's house in the 1930s. Trust me.
Reality - In the pub. Where Maggie Gyllenhaal is the barmaid, and she brings me free cheeseburgers and beer. And strips to Honey Bee by Tom Petty.

Reality? Technically possible I guess but I was thinking a little more likely than that. Do you know of such a pub?

She's not ageing well, so give it time.

Like a big knob, do you?
Fantasy - Reading Festival 2009, so basically skipping forward to after exams and everything.
Reality - In the park, and not about to start writing biology homework about prenatal care.

And with the sensuous aroma from the oils drifting, filling your nostrils, overwhelming you with intense relaxation... Knocking you out, so you don't feel anything as the masseur hacks your limbs off and buries you 3ft beneath the sand in a nearby cove.

Maggie Gyllenhaal is a total fox. See Dark Knight for details.
And the parties at Flynn's house were legendary - Hollywood starlets all over the shop.

I know, all there to see his legendary tackle.
