Assuming that you'd visually fit in to the period (clothing, etc.) and no one would know you...

I would love to go back to my hometown in the early 1950s; I would try to meet both sets of grandparents (a few died before I was born), but I would especially love to meet my mom as a kid. She'd probably run home and tell her own mother, "Some lady stopped me and said I needed to go to college and not marry when I'm only 23 frickin' years old!"

One word:

DINOSAURS!

Well, you did say any point in history. Camouflage would be the most important part of my period-appropriate outfit, so as to avoid being eaten.

But still! We'd finally know what colors they were, which ones really had feathers, and all kinds of cool stuff. It'd be awesome!

America, circa 1400.
California would be lovely, I think.

Haiti, May 5, 1802,
I' d find Gen. L’Ouverture right before he was about to board that wretched Leclerc's ship. And I'd say... Dear General L'Ouveture, it's a trap! Napoleon's nothing but a dirty rotten liar and coward!

And after Leclerc was hung and his men imprisoned, we'd
discuss the our invasion of America!

Any time before any taping of a Glenn Beck show to tell him "I am from the future and you are about to say something really stupid."

January 30th, 1969 - fly to London and watch the Beatles rooftop concert. Immediately afterwards, I'd return to Chicago and spy on my parents for a bit. I just want to know what they were like as a young couple.

V-E Day in London (May 8, 1945) and/or V-J Day in New York City (August 14, 1945), to feel the exhilaration at the end of these conflicts.
