Haha there is nothing like that feeling of coming back to my own bed. A month is a long time, definitely some positives to feeling sick of being somewhere else so you appreciate home that much more. I have only ever been to the UK once for like 4 days on a school trip 20 years ago. I'd love to go again, I do have family there.
I take 0.3mg once a day about an hour before I want to fall asleep, for max 5 days (it does result in weird dreams and morning grogginess). A lot of melatonin out there is in wild amounts like 3mg, 5mg, even 10mg. I had a bottle of 70 x 3mg that lasted me like 7 years - I cut the pills. I do not find that "more is better" as I feel horrifically awful in the morning with the high dosages, and the marginally shorter time it takes to fall asleep isn't worth it.
