The traditional way is to restore from your daily backup tape.
For a home user, you might have a cron job to create a backup tar file
of your home directory (and any other important bits) each night,
and burn it to CD occasionally.
  Otherwise, how desperate are you?  See http://www.google.com/linux

See pushd and popd in your manual.
In zsh, I use "setopt autopushd" to automatically remember a number
of dirs in a stack. Then I can "popd" at any time to go back.
Bash probably has something similar by now.

MAIN ADVICE: read your shell manual! It really is worth it.
