to have a long trip or distance left to travel · to face a lengthy period of travel
Imagine you are at the beginning of an epic road trip or a multi-leg flight. 🗺️✈️ This phrase perfectly captures that feeling when you know you have a lot more ground to cover before reaching your final destination! It's often used when talking about the effort or time involved in the travel itself.
💡 **Heads up!** While 'a long haul' (which refers to a long-distance trip itself) is a similar concept, 'to have a long journey ahead' emphasizes the *anticipation* or *current state* of facing that long period of travel. It’s perfect for setting expectations or expressing the vastness of your travel plans. Don't forget snacks and a good playlist for those long stretches! 🎧🍔
