If this is Heaven, why the reluctance to get there?

[heidler1]

The couple was 85 years old, and had been married for sixty years.
Though they were far from rich, they managed to get by because they
watched their pennies. Though not young, they were both in very good
health, largely due to the wife's insistence on healthy foods and
exercise for the last decade.

One day, their good health didn't help when they went on a rare vacation
and their plane crashed, sending them off to Heaven. They reached the
pearly gates, and St. Peter escorted them inside.

He took them to a beautiful mansion, furnished in gold and fine silks,
with a fully stocked kitchen and a waterfall in the master bath. A maid
could be seen hanging their favorite clothes in the closet.

They gasped in astonishment when he said, "Welcome to Heaven. This will
be your home now." The old man asked Peter how much all this was going
to cost. "Why, nothing," Peter replied, "remember, this is your reward
in Heaven."

The old man looked out the window and right there he saw a
championship golf course, finer and more beautiful than any ever built on
Earth. "What are the greens fees?" grumbled the old man. "This is
heaven," St. Peter replied. "You can play for free, every day."
Next they went to the clubhouse and saw the lavish buffet lunch, with
every imaginable cuisine laid out before them, from seafood to steaks to
exotic deserts, free flowing beverages. "Don't even ask," said St.Peter
to the man. "This is Heaven, it is all free for you to enjoy."

The old man looked around and glanced nervously at his wife. "Well,
where are the low fat and low cholesterol foods, and the decaffeinated
tea?" he asked.

"That's the best part," St. Peter replied. "You can eat and drink as
much as you like of whatever you like, and you will never get fat or
sick. "This IS Heaven!"

The old man pushed, "No gym to work out at?" "Not unless you want to,"
was the answer. "No testing my sugar or blood
pressure or..." "Never again. All you do here is enjoy yourself."

The old man glared at his wife and said, "You and your damned bran
muffins. We could have been here ten years ago!"

2. Is there a discription of heaven in the bible?

I did read the bible about 20 years ago but have forgotten
if there was one.
