As intriging as the idea of going to ME sounds intially, I'd have to pass. The Third Age appears to have been a time of as much turmoil as our own, albiet for different reasons. And I must say, I'm rather fond of modern sanitation! That and the fact that I'm not to sure how well a non-white person might fit in Tolkien's conception of Middle Earth...

Isil was first wrought and made ready, and first rose into the realms of the stars, and was the elder of the new lights, as was Telperion of the Trees. Then for a while the world had moonlight, and many things stirred and woke that had waited long in the sleep of Yavanna. The servants of Morgoth were filled with amazement, but the Elves of the Outer Lands looked up in delight; and even as the Moon rose above the darkness in the West, Fingolfin let blow his silver trumpets and began his march into Middle Earth, and the shadows of his host went long and black before them.
