Mar 11, 2015 at 3:46 comment added wys1wyg Any antonym of advance would imply that, no? To go back you have to have gone before.
Mar 11, 2015 at 3:26 comment added DJClayworth Both 'return' and 'revisit' implies you have been there before, which is not necessarily the case.

Mar 11, 2015 at 2:47 comment added wys1wyg Though now I'm thinking of many entertaining ones with negative connotations: "fall back," "retrogress," "evacuate."
