excursions
Short pleasure journeys
Excursions are short trips taken for pleasure, exploration, or a specific purpose, with the expectation of returning to the starting point: a day excursion to the coast, shore excursions for cruise passengers.
The word suggests something more purposeful than wandering but less extensive than a journey.
Figuratively, an excursion is a brief venture into unfamiliar territory: an excursion into philosophy, excursions from the main argument.
