We had an ardous journey when visiting our cousin in Africa because the flight was cancelled
We tried an alternative route to climb the mountain because we were very tired
When I went to Japan I had to take a long-haul flight in which I spent two days
I've never been in a world class destination for my holiday because I can't afford it
We found a last-minute flight, so we decided to make an impromptu visit to our distant family
When I was in Lisbon I had to deal with an unacceptable delay of fifteen hours

My journey across the Northern Border of Bolivia was very perilous.

At night we took an alternative route.

To get to Bolivia I take a long-haul flight.

To get to Switzerland I take a long-haul car trip.

I visited the Swiss Alps. It´s a destination you must go-to.

I made a fleeting visit to Aguas Calientes.

On the way back the train suffered an unacceptable delay.

Last year we took a bumpy flight to Vietnam.
We chose that country because it is a far-flung destination and we could afford it.
We decided to go on a route through the most important cities but it was circuitous, so we wasted our time.
it was a perilous journey through those cities and we found some strange people who tried to steal our passports.
When we came back to Spain, we had an unacceptable delay in the flight: more than 4 hours!
