Arriving at finally

Getting to usually means beginning or managing to do something: I'm finally getting to that project, We never got to meet her.

It can also mean affecting emotionally—typically in a negative way: The criticism was really getting to him, Don't let it get to you.

With a place, it means arriving: Getting to the airport took forever.
