My understanding is that when you die you are essentially sent to a temporary holding place, could be a very nice place called "paradise" but it is temporary until we all appear before the judgement seat of Christ, which occurs after the resurrection from the dead.

Now there is no doubt that the New Jerusalem is our ultimate destination and that is a "heavenly city".

As for "orientation" I think the question "are you going to heaven or hell" is counterproductive towards the orientation of believers. I would also note, perhaps due to the similarity between orientation and orienteering, that it is very important to be precise in your orientation. A "slight" variation can equate to being lost by hundreds of miles.
