Despite the fact that I have traveled extensively for the last several years, my most recent trip helped me recognize a lack in my planning.

I have discovered that I need a task list for when I come home from a trip.  When you get home, there are many things to do to get back into the normal swing of things. You need to unpack, do laundry, take care of mail, restock groceries, etc.

As I prepare for my next major trip (in less than 10 days), I'll be developing my "coming home" list.
