Default Re: travel or trip?

#3: "Trip" does not work as a verb in this context... the word can be a verb, but it doesn't have the meaning that you want, when used as a verb. One "takes a trip" but one does not "trip" ... at least in this context. Just use "travel" for the verb as suggested and you'll be fine and you won't be tripped up.

#4: Micawber was telling you (by way of omission) that #4 is fine.... you're using "trip" as a noun. Good.
