I recorded this `directory bookmarks using shopt` shellsession because 'cd -' is used by most of us
to switch between current/last directory.

Here's a cool technique which allows directory bookmarks.

### ~/.bashrc :

   [[ -f ~/.bashrc.dirs ]] && . ~/.bashrc.dirs

### ~/.bashrc.dirs define:

   export slog="/mnt/disk1/me/projects/solidrake/var/log"

This will allow you to type:

$ cd slog
$ pwd 
/mnt/disk1/me/projects/solidrake/var/log

actually no need or 'export', just type this:
log=$(pwd)
instead of:
export log="($pwd)"
