This is supposed to be a DIFFERENT "what to do" tip.... one most of us "forget" even though this is a major part of any trip..... Going back , going home......
Just as getting there is exciting and a reason to be pleasantly anxious , returning home can and should be too.... If you were just on a tourist trip ( and didn't necessarily emigrate....) you'll be heading home after 2 or 3 or 4 weeks or so.... full with new impressions, knowledge , endured small or big adventures, having survived endless monologues of tour guides and , probably , every once in a while , diarrhea , new experiences with strange cultures and culinary..... and so on.... then going back to the old routine can be soothing , smoothing , comforting , even exciting. Depending on where you live it could of course also be a pain in the neck confronting the cold weather , the job routine , you know what I mean..... And, again , sometimes you ask yourself , why am I doing this to myself ? Squeeky bumpy beds, mosquitos, sometimes lousy food, grey sky and pouring rain, exhaustion , hurting feet...... but very soon after being at home , the natural instinct for adventure sets in again and you're starting to think about the next destination.....
So , here we are, at the airport , trying to "forcefully" get rid of the last uruguayan pesos , buying anything to accomplish that (pic 1) , fooling around and "pigging" out in the plane ( pics 2 and 3) , bidding farewell to the day and to the trip (pic 4) and finding oneself back in real world.... where is the rest of the luggage !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Address: -----> home
Directions: Have you heard this one ? Breakfast in London, lunch in New York, dinner in San Francisco, luggage in Buenos Aires .....
