Syn. -- Tour; excursion; trip; expedition; pilgrimage. -- Journey,
Tour, Excursion, Pilgrimage. The word journey suggests the idea of a
somewhat prolonged traveling for a specific object, leading a person to
pass directly from one point to another. In a tour, we take a
roundabout course from place to place, more commonly for pleasure,
though sometimes on business. An excursion is usually a brief tour or
trip for pleasure, health, etc. In a pilgrimage we travel to a place
hallowed by our religions affections, or by some train of sacred or
tender associations. A journey on important business; the tour of
Europe; an excursion to the lakes; a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
