It's fun meeting old mates and a good old rice and curry can never be beat. But like PJ said I increasingly find myself distant from even the best friends I used to have in SL, I guess it's only natural as you grow apart when you live half the world away in different cultures. So there's fewer and fewer reasons for me to go back I guess, except the family. Also I tend to keep the visits short, about 2 weeks, so it's busy and fun, but can leave before it starts to take a toll on me.
I hate going back for 2 weeks stints. It just feels so rushed as life to me feels supercharged cuz its so much hustle and bustle. I'd never go back for less than 4 weeks if I could help it. Let's me ease into the SL pace over a week. And then I get to enjoy the trip. I can add on some side trips with my friends ad-hoc in the spur of the moment.
It does make leaving much harder though.
