Hi Ethan,
I had a similar need as I was getting to know getting things done. I had a "calls" context for "personal" and one for "work". OmniFocus will actually accommodate this, depending on how you want to see them. You can either have
@Calls
--@Los Angeles
--@Boston
--@New York
which, if you select "@Calls" will show you *all* the calls you need to make, and if you choose @Los Angeles will show you *only* the calls you can make while in LA.
Or you can have
@Los Angeles
--@Calls
--@Errands
which lets you see everything you need to do in LA, or only the calls you need make while in LA.
Here's what I do now, though. Instead of using Contexts for this, I use folders. I'd have an LA folder which contained all my projects I can only do while in LA. When I want to see what can I/do I need to do in LA, I double-click the LA folder (or choose View > Focus on selected project), and voila! my list of actions is instantly limited.
I now have a single Calls context, and if I'm at work, I simply double-click my Work folder and there are my calls for work, unpolluted with my personal calls.
