Some are of opinion that heaven is everywhere, as God is everywhere. According to this view the blessed can move about freely in every part of the universe, and still remain with God and see everywhere. Everywhere, too, they remain with Christ (in His sacred Humanity) and with the saints and the angels. For, according to the advocates of this opinion, the spatial distances of this world must no longer impede the mutual intercourse of the blessed.
In general, however, theologians deem more appropriate that there should be a special and glorious abode, in which the blessed have their peculiar home and where they usually abide, even though they be free to go about in this world. For the surroundings in the midst of which the blessed have their dwelling must be in accordance with their happy state; and the internal union of charity which joins them in affection must find its outward expression in community of habitation. At the end of the world, the earth together with the celestial bodies will be gloriously transformed into a part of the dwelling-place of the blessed (Apoc., xxi). Hence there seems to be no sufficient reason for attributing a metaphorical sense to those numerous utterances of the Bible which suggest a definite dwelling-place of the blessed.
Theologians, therefore, generally hold that the heaven of the blessed is a special place with definite limits. Naturally, this place is held to exist, not within the earth, but, in accordance with the expressions of Scripture, without and beyond its limits. All further details regarding its locality are quite uncertain. The Church has decided nothing on this subject.

I think it will be a boring place. Where's the challenge that would make things interesting?
I see no reason to get to heaven. I'd go out of my mind in that place. I rank heaven with those expensive nursing homes rich people go to where everything you need is provided but there's really nothing to do. At least those people know death will take them away from the boredom of the nursing home. Heaven is an eternity and thats an awful thought.

Well, look at the bible for clues. History repeats itself. It appears that if you turn your back on god, he kills your first born children. That is something only that a dictator would do, so Heaven is most like other countries in this world ruled by dictators. (the bible also says that we were made in his image...)
