jaunt

noun, an excursion, a trip, or a journey, esp. one taken for pleasure (“jaunt, n.1.” OED)

“She teaches school in Belleville. It’s a bit of a jaunt too every day, you know.”

“There’s a woman; she works at the Pen and she married someone who lives in the States … and she commutes. I’m not sure if she’s still doing that, but she would come across our ferry. But that’s a long jaunt.”
