You can go to heaven from anywhere...

'When Anaxogoras was dying at Lampsacus, his friends sked him if he wanted to be taken home to Clazomenae, in case anything happened to him; to which he made the splendid answer, "That will be quite unnecessary- you can get the the Underworld from anywhere." '
(Cicero, Tusculanae Disputationes, I, 104)
