overnight trip

One-night journey away

An overnight trip is a journey that includes staying away from home for at least one night but typically not more than a few.

The phrase distinguishes brief excursions from day trips on one end and longer vacations on the other: The class is going on an overnight trip to the state capital.

Often shortened to simply an overnight.
