Not necessarily applicable here, but if you are going back and forth between two directories 'cd -' will also do the trick, taking you pack to the last folder. So, cd into the first folder, then cd into the second. To get back to the first issue 'cd -', and once you are there the same command will take you back to the second, and so on.
