travel, trip, journey ....
I hesitate quite often when I have to use one of these words when e.g. describing part of or a holiday/vacation.
If I am living in “A†and have spend my holidays in “Bâ€
Journey seems to me, to be only the movement from point “A†to point “B†and/or vice versa and maybe small movements when staying in “Bâ€
The journey to “B†was awful. It lasted more than fifteen hours without the possibility to have a halt.
Travel seems to me, to be the fact to have been in “Bâ€
In (during) my travel to “B†I have get to know very interesting people.
Trip seems to me, to be a kind of small travel.
While staying in “B†we had a trip to a nearby island.
Living in Belgium I would say a trip to Amsterdam, not a travel, but I am not sure if I would say a travel or a trip to Ushuaia.
Does anyone have the right explanations ?
Thanks
