Sorry to leave your question hanging but I was in Florida last week. If I could go anywhere in ME, it sure as hell wouldn't be Florida. But there are places that strongly appeal to me. Because it was where my readings so often left me, I suppose that my imagination dwells most in the fourth age, and that is an age of men and of the passing of old things.
I would love to see the restored Kingdom of Arnor. It would not be too far from home as to be "an adventure." Most especially I would like to look north from Annuminas, over the twilit waters of Nenuial white-crested by the northeast wind, to see the setting sun blaze the uppermost peaks of the hills of Evendim. Even in its rebirth, the city would be suffused with the melancholy of its previous decline. Like Noldo, I am much taken with the delicate transience of good things in ME.
I would like to walk the plains of Eotheod in the high-summer and pace the remains of Framsburg in the long summer eve, to see the tide break on the old stone pilings at Lond Daer, to listen to the Anduin flowing through the empty city of Osgiliath, and then to drink wine and to remember in the good and living city below Dol Amroth. And to smell the roses of Imloth Melui.
