Mine
is
similar
to
Diane
and
Florinda's.
If
you're
going
away,don't
return
the
evening
before
you
go
back
to
work.
Get
home
to
your
house
a
couple
of
days
before
you
have
to
go
back
to
work.
You
can
get
the
laundry,
etc,
done,
your
kids
can
relax
in
familiar
surroundings,
maybe
you
can
all
catch
up
on
some
sleep,
before
getting
back
into
the
regular
routine.

I
just
came
up
with
this
tip
-
although
it's
not
necessarily
applicable
in
full
if
you're
going
away
with
your
kids.
I
was
at
a
conference
for
a
few
days
-
which
is
almost
like
vacation!
-
and
when
I
came
back
I
didn't
unpack
for
one
day.
I
got
to
work
and
to
taking
care
of
things
at
home
and
did
the
unpacking
later.
It
helped
in
a
surprising
way.

My
suggestion
is
similar
to
Diane's;
if
you're
actually
going
somewhere
for
your
vacation,
build
in
a
"buffer
day"
between
your
return
home
and
return
to
work.
For
me,
that
day
usually
ends
up
being
used
for
domestic
stuff
-
unpacking,
catching
up
on
laundry,
grocery
shopping,
etc.
-
so
that's
not
nagging
at
me
when
I
get
back
to
work.
Diane K. Danielson 30th Jul 07
My
best
tip
is
to
put
in
your
"out
of
office"
email
response
that
you
are
returning
a
day
or
two
later
than
you
actually
return.
This
gives
you
some
time
to
catch
up
before
everyone
hits
you
with
new
stuff.
