Dear Lynn3,
It means «despite that».
«Travelling is nice, but despite the fact that it is nice, there is no place like home.»

Or--
After I tell you every nice thing I experienced in every nice place I've been during my travels, and after doing all the nice things that I was able to do in all those nice places, I still think there is nothing as nice as being at home.

That's interesting. I'm more used to hearing "after all" or "when all is said and done"; but not the composite version.

Yes and it's a yukky cliched meaningless one as well so don't use it. Likewise I want to ban anyone from ever saying 'at the end of the day'.
