Some things I just can't process, creatr, and this is one - I'm very earthbound and even photos of the Martian landscape make my stomach turn...I just can't get past alien concepts and I can't bring myself to contemplate another world. I suppose if we have the option of traveling back and forth from heaven and the new Earth, I'd be happy to stay here and let you go surfing on the Sea of Time :)

Part of my point, which I perhaps could have made clearer, is that one of the things that will surprise us about Heaven - a.k.a. the "New Heavens and New Earth" - is just how much like our present, comfortable, familiar earthly surroundings it will be.
It will be very recognizable, very comfortable - just "all cleaned up" and purified.
Given a choice to shuttle back and forth, I would never choose to come back... the present life is too filled with pain... though I might ask the LORD to show me some of his "home movies" of certain events in history.
and.....I don't know who said this but they said Heaven was like living in color but now, we live in black and white.
A good analogy... ;)
And, plus @johnjgeddes, where God is present in full glory, face to face, why would you want to live in the shadows? Wouldn't you be excited to finally have that face to face not by faith experience with Him?
