You definitely hit the nail on this. I actually hate when people make those comments about ‘back to reality’ after a trip, because like you said, it was real life, and maybe, just maybe boring normal life where you never get out of your comfort zone is, in fact, the un-reality.

I’d already vowed to find a new Cincinnati coming home and you tips above definitely help with the goal. I’m glad I’m not alone :)

I too always look for ways to keep the time away with me when I get home. I like to buy little works of art to gaze at for when I get home.

For Tuscan people, Tuscany is ”back to reality, and Boston is the “wonderful unreality”. It’s all about how we approach life and what we do with it.

@Turner: True about #4. “Itadakimasu” definitely has a ring to it…

I’ve just got back home after a week of travel in Singapore and Malaysia, and I haven’t fully settled in yet. This weekend, I plan to explore my city, all because I’m still in a traveler’s high… plus, I love to see the similarities of the cities I’ve been to with mine. Cheers!

Always translated as “let’s eat!” but obviously no English speaker would ever say that.

I think #4 is key to exploring all your other points. Well done.
