Seriously, (and willing to be corrected by better cosmologists than me, i.e. almost anyone), my understanding is that we don't know. Because nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, anything further away than B light-years, where B is the age of the Big Bang, can't be seen and can't influence us in any way, and so is unknowable to us.

Everyone knows that Saddam sent the WMD to Syria and that after the Iraq deal is done and the are a few thousand Marines standing around with nothing to do.....Can you say "NEXT!"?
Bad guys are always bad guys but sometime the good guys have a few bad ones in with them too.
Seriously, that part about being "unknowable" really bugs me. Not that it is unknowable to me (I'm dumber than a box of rocks) but SOMEONE, SOME TIME should (I think) be able to know this or at least have a theory. My theory is that you would either return to your starting place or out-distance the expansion and come to see nothingness.
