Need advice....to trip again?

No one can know exactly what I should do, so I'll keep this very general.
It's been a year since I've taken acid and 9 months since I've used shrooms.
I have the opportunity to trip on acid again in a week, it was kind of my annual candyflip at a psy music festival. I've laid off the E, so it wouldn't be so much a candyflip as a trip.
Anyway, I realize that I would probably do it for no other reason than it's the traditional thing to do. Honestly, I can't remember what tripping feels like. I do know that it was ecstatic and divine most of the time with moments of uncertainty & fear.
I used acid twice and mushrooms maybe fifteen times during a two year period. I quit for no particular reason other than I had done quite a few low dose shroom trips towards the end of last year, ran out of shrooms and just stopped.
So now I'm not quite sure how to proceed. I kind of feel like I'd trip for the sole purpose that it's something to do; and I'm not sure how I feel about that. My drug travels have taught me that getting high and/or tripping 'just because' is when you're down the path to 'losing the magic' of the experience.
So I don't know if I should kick start my system with a full-on LSD or shroom trip to explore the nether regions again and see what there is to see, or if I should take my rather neutral stance on the whole issue of psychs as proof positive that I went there, did that, and now I've moved on.
Psychedelic trips tend to be 'mental resets' for me, and maybe I'm kind of in denial about needing to shake it all up and re-introduce myself to myself.
Knowing that no one can really tell me what to do, any thoughts on the general question of when to trip and/or tripping when you really don't feel the need?

I think that after such a long time of being without mushrooms and acid you should definitely go back. Me and my buddy used to trip alot, and we have taken a break for about 6 months now, but going back is always a great time. The combination of daily stresses and constant expansion on the mind and body, mushrooms are a great way to get out of your home orb and really experience new things. Go back to music and film that you used to watch, but don't anymore. That will both bring back sub-conscious thoughts and bring up new thoughts you have about your "old self". I highly suggest tripping again, be safe and enjoy!

If you want to do it, don't do it. Especially if you want to take psychedelics in a public, unless you're experienced in tripping on parties. If you are not sure - try doing it in a more sacral set'n'setting. Have you seen Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas?

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is one of my favourite drug movies because it captures the essence of the drug experience so well at some points.
Kras - I too have wondered about tripping at home in a spiritual setting instead of launching into this again at a forest party with a lot of strangers.
stratomaster - thanks for your advice. I think it's golden.

This movie is based on a real story, I think. Writer of the original book has committed suicide. Stupidity can be fun but shouldn't be admired.
