Meaning of this scene - LOTR

Remember when Frodo, Gandalf and Frodo's uncle boards the ship in LOTR3... what was the meaning? Where were they going? Were they going to die?

The ship they board is taking them to what is known as the "Undying Lands". It is where the elves, go when they tire of Middle Earth. The reason for Frodo going is that is the only place where he can heal the mental wounds he suffered from being the Ringbearer. Also even though it is known as the "Undying Lands", anybody without immortality, will eventually die there.

Elves go when they are called home, which is also when they tire of Middle Earth. Elves go the Grey Havens, the place with the ships, when that time is come, to sail to the "Undying Lands".

Does this mean that Frodo is to heal his wounds and then die there? Kinda silly isn't it... He's gonna die anyway, why not in Middle Earth...

LOL!! Seriously, don't you find it kinda silly if Frodo wants to die away from friends...
@ddrive: out of curiosity, which elf's ass did Frodo wanted?

If Frodo had stayed in Middle Earth he would have died sooner, and it wasn't physical wounds, but mental. And Frodo does not die without his friends, as Gandalf is with him, and after Sam's wife dies, he also sails over as the last of the 'Ringbearers'.

Judging by Frodo's past behaviour, especially with his "friend" Sam, most likely its that chief of the elves (whatever his name was).
