On the way 'home'

The word home may be not only a noun, but also an adverb and an adjective. 

Hence, at the same time, it is an object, a direction (but so significant to turn its nature of a noun into the one of an adverb) and a qualification (some places are homes). 

I find this surprising. 

However, I got lost on my way home and I liked it more than getting home. 

Hence, perhaps, home is not home, but a no-place, where I rest by now and then.
