Can the
ANCIENT West mentioned in Akallabeth be Valinor itself? Then choice of the destination is left with the travellers.

And then it seemed to him (Frodo) that as in his dream in the house of Bombadil, the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back and he beheld white shores and beyond them a far green country under a swift sunrise.

To me this vision of Frodo's seems more like the mainland (Valinor ?) than just an island. Of course, it's just a vision, one may say. But hardly those Powers who allowed him to get the glimpse of the Blessed Land in his dream (?) would later deprive him of coming there.
