I just came across this quotation from Catullus, translated by the ever-amusing Edward Enfield:
You come back to your own home and you lie on your own bed and after all that struggle abroad there is nothing left to worry about. What could be better? This alone would make it all worthwhile.
Excerpt From: "Downhill all the Way: Cycling Through France from La Manche to the Mediterranean" by Edward Enfield. Scribd.
It is beyond doubt true, but already, I'm missing being on the road, and thinking ahead to the next trip, this time with far less luggage.
