Congrats on passing the AMEL! I remember the lfight home after my checkride too. It was one of my favorites. It was a long time ago though. What are the currency requirements for multi-engine night flying?

Congrats on the new rating.
I would ask then how you would become night current? If you are with another pilot and not flying passengers, do your three landings and now you would be current. I guess I don't understand the huge rush to get back to base.
