The Mars Science Laboratory will have to tide me over for a while. 19 days and 6 hours to touchdown.
The Dawn spacecraft should be departing Vesta in a few months and heading for Ceres.

Hopefully a soft rather than hard touchdown — the skycrane scares me!
It’s also 6 weeks until Juno’s Deep Space Maneuver in preparation for the October 2013 Earth flyby.
