What's the first thing you do when you get home from a trip?

We bring the suitcases right into the laundry room and start washing. After that, I usually login to email and check for something interesting and finally check my online credit card statement to see how painful paying it next month will be!

Kate W lol I first pet the cat then look for the vomit. Next, I go through the mail,check my e-mail, look at my pictures, maybe do some laundry(but I usually stay in apartments with washing facilities) and finally dump out my suitcase in a spare room.

WOW there are a LOT of cat people out there!!!
I shower, look at pics on the computer, call the fam and go to sleep. Unpacking to me means the trip is really over- it usually takes me a day to admit to that.

"I get in the house, take a very long hot shower, put on my old comfortable pj's and get in bed, no matter what time it is! I love my pillow, I love watching tv in bed, which I probably haven't done for a few weeks. Sometimes I fall asleep, sometimes I get up after an hour or so and start to unpack and get the laundry going."

I go home and greet the critters, pop the clothes in the laundry, check e-mail (because I haven't checked it since I left) and start downloading and processing the 15 million photos I took.
Once a decent sampling of photos are done, I print out a contact sheet if someone's interested in a quick look, grab all the gifts I bought and head out for the streets to deliver them.
Then I go back home and spend several weeks processing, printing and framing my favorite photos and hanging them on the walls (wherever there's room)

We always have someone stay here for the dog so as soon as we walk in the door, she is right there - yipping, wiggling and jumping all over the place. (It's actually quite precious how much she misses us, though it wouldn't matter if were gone for a day or two weeks - still the same response!)
It's then a requirement that we drop everything and focus the next hour or two of our lives completely and totally on the dog. If we don't, there will be he!! to pay!
After that, I open windows/blinds, check the mail, take a shower, and then start the unpacking & laundry. If it's late, screw all that, I'm going to bed!

katya, I was thinking the same thing! I would have said that I pet my cat when I get home, but she gets mad at us for leaving her (we have a cat sitter who comes everyday while we are gone) so she hides under the bed and holds a grudge for at least a day!

I hug my ((&), drop the luggage in a corner, make sure mail is on my desk, shower, then head to sleep, since I'm usually coming home from my trips late at night.
I deal with my luggage, laundry and mail the next morning, hence the luggage in the corner. I've tripped over/slipped on them many groggy morning-afters.
