Plans

Hi,

My dad bought a cabin in the mountains and we have never been on a proper holiday since then as we spend all our free time there. I was talking about it with my mom and she said:

"Buying that cabin brought all our travelling plans to a stop."

"Buying that cabing stifled all our efforts to plan any trips abroad."

"Buying that cabin put our travelling plans on long-term hold."

Would any of these work?

Thank you.

All three seem fine to me. I might use "travel plans" instead of "travelling plans", but maybe that's just me..

The three sentences are okay, but don't really hit directly on the problem. The following might be more to the point:


We don't travel anymore because of that cabin.

I wanted to go to Paris but instead we're sitting in that cabin in the woods.

The only "fellow tourists" we see anymore are the coyotes that come around that cabin.
