Learning Travel Idioms in Context
Planning a vacation is exciting, but it requires good preparation. Imagine a woman named Sarah who is planning a summer trip. She wants to visit a quiet, peaceful village that is off the beaten path. This means she wants to go to a place where very few tourists go, so she can enjoy nature and silence.
Because she will be walking a lot and taking small trains, Sarah decides to travel light. She packs only one small bag with the absolute minimum clothes and items she needs. She does not want to carry heavy luggage during her trip.
On Saturday morning, Sarah and her family will hit the road very early. They want to start their car journey before the sun comes up to avoid heavy traffic on the highway. This careful planning ensures their vacation starts smoothly.
