Not in Valinor. Valinor is Elftown... a paradise, yes, but for elves, not men, dwarves, or hobbits. Frodo (& Sam, & Bilbo) went to Valinor as guests, and not as ghosts, but as living Hobbits.

However, once they reach the end of their years, they will die-- presumably then going to the place where the Old Took is. Aragorn calls it "Beyond the circles of the world." What exactly that means...?

And-- What Legolas said-- Hear, hear. Read the Sil.
