Basic Trope: A meaningless trip.
* Played Straight: Alice and Bob and a bunch of their friends or relatives go on a cross-country road trip just to see a famous landmark or natural wonder.
* Exaggerated: They arrive there and head home immediately afterwards.
* Inverted: The trip actually has a purpose, such as a real quest, a business trip, a religious retreat, etc.
* Justified: The group wants to see the landmark or natural wonder in question before it's destroyed.
* Subverted: The Captain sends the Five-Man Band on a mission to Mount Everest.
* Double Subverted: To take pictures, and maybe say hi to the Yeti for him.
* Deconstructed: The trip is a complete waste of time and serves no purpose.
* Reconstructed: The characters have lots of memorable experience
