to postpone travel plans · to delay a trip
This expression is super useful when your travel dreams hit a temporary roadblock! 🚧 Life happens, right? Maybe work gets intense, or you need to save up a bit more cash. It means you're not cancelling the trip forever, just pausing it for now. So your adventure isn't gone, it's just chilling on the 'waitlist' for a bit! 😉
💡 **Fun Fact!** The idiom "on the back burner" comes from cooking! 🔥 When you have multiple pots on a stove, the "back burner" is where something simmers slowly, or waits to be attended to later, while the "front burner" items get immediate attention. So, when you put a trip there, it's still "cooking" in your mind, but not a priority right now. Remember to use it for *any* plan, not just travel!
