get there
Reach the destination
Get there means to arrive at a destination or achieve a goal.
The literal sense is straightforward: We should get there by noon.
More often it's figurative—reaching a state or accomplishing something after effort: It took years of practice, but she finally got there.
We're not there yet, but we're getting there acknowledges progress toward a goal.
