Have a safe trip there?
Hi. Please tell me if any of the following is correct in the context stated.
Let's say two women work in the same place and one day, a woman mentions that she will not come to work the following day. She has to attend a close relative's funeral service in XXX (the letters "XXX" representing the name of the city where the funeral is going to be held). She had obtained the permission from her employer for that. Is any of the following correct for what the other woman can possibly say to her? Thank you for your help in advance.
1. Have a safe trip to XXX.
2. Have a safe journey to XXX.
3. Have a safe drive to XXX.

Why in the world have you supplied all that prefatory text that I had to read through and that has nothing to do with your question or the sentence vocabulary? In fact, it is counterproductive, since it does not mention how the woman plans to get to the funeral.

Hi, thank you for your reply. As to how the woman is going to go to the funeral service, she is going to go there by car and is driving.
As to why I set up the context in detail is that I thought going to a funeral service, especially that of a close relative, was undoubtably sad event and I wasn't sure if it it was correct or not since I I usually use the word "trip" in a positive contex
