That "coming home" is perfection. I only do one con right now, and that's D*C. I have as many as 40 or so friends who come in from around the world for it, and it's the only time I get to see them face to face, so come hell or high water, I'm going!!
This year is was that much better because I flew to Charlotte first, spent a day with my Bekah and her family before we drove down to Atlanta, spent the Con together with two awesome random roommates from the LJ D*C Rooms group, and then drove back to her place for 2 more glorious days together. It was the first time in 4.5 years that I'd gotten to see my best friend. So now that's been established as our tradition, and that's the plan for next year as well. We've even already bought our badges at Con for next year, since that's the cheapest time to get them!
Oh, and I got to meet tigrkittn and her hubby, and dizzydog at D*C this year! So that was pretty awesome to have an LJI component to Con.
You're right, that energy can not be beat. I thrive on it and then there's the After Con Depression as I adjust to life outside of that environment again. You have to store up that energy for the year to get you through to the next one!
