Use marks, especially the uppercase ones. That is: you set a mark in normal mode by typing, for example: mM (to set mark M), and you return to that mark with 'M . Quite handy, isn't it? As far as I rember these marks are saved betweenvarious Vim executions.

Just press escape to get into normal mode.
