If there is an afterlife, I can not help but hope it will be endless pleasure driving in a 1968 Corvette convertible. Always a full tank, no flat tires ever and no maintenance needed!

Heaven would mean being able to have my own town. I would make it span many decades, and centuries. If I got my fill of Atomic houses, I head for the Victorian section, and after that, I visit my 1930's farmhouse. It would be my own self styled Utopia. Everything in mint condition. Variety would be the buzzword. One harp. Played by a pretty blonde from a 1950's tv variety show. In a blue gown. With rhinestones.
Oh... how disappointing. I thought we might get a few religious types saying that they would be more than happy to strum their harps while sitting on a cloud.
OK well, after all that I guess that no-one knows so they are all just crossing their fingers and hoping they have backed the right horse. Thats a heck of a gamble and one I would not be willing to take.
Maybe as I get nearer my old age I will be more likely to take on a bet like that - except that I am already over half-way there and nothing has changed.
I hope knowledge. I'd like to understand all of the mysteries of the Universe. Of course, a bowl full of the best pot ever, that never goes away, with all of the best munchy food I can eat available, would be awesome to.
And I'm sorry, if there is no sex in heaven, I'm not sure I want to go. I like sex, not sure about some people, but I know I do. My heaven will definatley have to have sex involved in some way.
Naaaah no sex. All the goody-goodies will see to that. Anyway, sex is probably only an Earth thing and they do everything in the mind on other star systems. A bit like Woody Allen's orgasmic orb in one of his films. You just had to hold the orb in your hands and it gave you the right feelings in your head/body.
But heaven is a busy and exciting place and is not the version that was painted in Cathedrals in the 12th Century. Heaven is not a place where you sit on clouds and strum harps. It is just like earth, in that there are people, houses, trees, mountains, rivers, valley, fauna and flora, just like hear on earth. There are things to do in heaven, but because of the eternity factor, you just don't feel like you have to do anything at all, or you can take as long as you want studying something or working on a project, since you never get tired or hungry. However, you can eat if you want and there are many wonderful things to eat.
As a Christian, some of the reward is living a good life here on earth in peace with our maker.

Heaven is perfect.
Must be, you just described the Celtic "heaven", which outdates even your parent religion by millenia.
Only difference is that OUR neamh is a transitional place, a rest stop between lives, and one doesn't have a complicated codex of rather unnatural behaviors some call "morals" as a requirement for entry.
We have no "hell" either, BTW, any and all punishments are meted out while living.
Maybe heaven will be just like earth now... except everyone will do the right thing.
