daytrips
Same-day travel adventures
Daytrips are excursions completed within a single day, returning home by nightfall rather than staying overnight: We took daytrips to the coast every summer.
The word emphasizes the self-contained nature of the outing—no hotel, no luggage, just a day away.
Also spelled as two words: day trips.
