IF YOU COULD INVENT ANYTHING YOU WANTED, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

IF YOU COULD TRAVEL ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, WHERE WOULD YOU GO AND WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
Italy. I enjoy reading about the cities in ancient times. I would love to have a kaleidoscopic experience of all that history. Enjoying a glass or two of Italian wine while in Italy would make the trip complete.

WHAT IS THE MOST RANDOM THING YOU HAVE RESEARCHED FOR WRITING?
What weapons-grade plutonium looks like. Turns out it's shaped like a hockey puck and that offered a nice little metaphor for my novel. I also recently looked up David Tennant's hairstyling methods and it was quite the rabbit hole. I now feel I understand him better as a person and an actor.
