Road trip

Encyclopedia : R : RO : ROA : Road trip

A Road Trip is a journey intended to be enjoyable and filled with events and tourist stops as opposed to just a means to "getting there". Alternately it is a story of such an event where the journey is of comparable or of more importance to the destination. Often the trip is metaphorical or symbolic in nature and represents a change in a person's life. Other times it is just a literary vehicle or a framework for action and adventure.
