[LotR] If our world is modern Middle-Earth, is there still a way to reach Valinor, and aside from that, are Gandalf and the Elves still hanging out there to this day?

What are they even doing?

The world was flat until near the end of the Second Age, with Valinor being the uttermost western edge of Arda. After the world was made round and Valinor removed, a Straight Road was left, following the line of Arda as it used to be. This is the path that the Elves took West, and it should still remain today.

The Elves and all the Ainur (including Gandalf) should still be there, as they are bound to Arda until its ending.
