I get back on a bike and ride a couple days after I get home. It's so fun to ride my unloaded Allez after riding my loaded LHT for a long tour. Plus, I'm in such great shape from the tour that I can ride longer and faster, and I don't like to let that fitness fade.

I don't pine to go on another tour immediately, but I inevitably have such a great time on tour that it makes me want to do it again. I can usually only take one big tour per year, so after one I start considering where to go for the next one.
