You are right, a man did enter Aman, his name was Earendil. But didn't the three Ringbearers, Frodo, Sam and Bilbo enter Aman too? Or was that the Lost Isle?
Earendil did enter Aman, and he bore a Silmaril, but he was a half-elf, the son of Tuor and Idril Celebrindal, and he was not permitted to dwell there. Tuor, I believe, was given the grace of the Valar and alone among the race of (full-blooded) Men was counted among the Eldar. I believe he sailed West with Idril and came to Aman. Frodo, Sam and Bilbo, as I understand it, dwelt on Tol Eressea and not in Aman. That's the best my memory can do at the moment! Hope it helps! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Cheers,
Lyta
