I got the impression that, having finished his task, - and yes, resurrection rather than reincarnation was the right word -Gandalf was going home - you know, back to the pile of unanswered mail that had accumulated over the last several thousand years, etc. :-) Yet I suspect he would miss ME. I bet there are no pubs in Valinor and definitely no pipeweed and nothing but "artistes" to mingle with. As wizards go, Gandalf was very human. It must have been hard for him to tell the hobbits at the end that they were on their own now, because he was going home.
