A woman's lot in Middle-Earth the way tolkien saw it is not an easy one, and what with this many of us going there I don't think we would get treated like royalty. Knowing the future until the end of third age would be an useful bit, except that our presence might change it. Our? I was assuming we all would go together. But maybe I would go alone. I would not bring my friends and family, ME is a dangerous place. One big trouble: I don't speak Westron! Would have to make do with my poor Elvish.
All in all, an adventure. I would seek the elves till I found them. A beggar beside their path, crooning the hymn of Elbereth in her harsh voice...
