Have gone

I understand "have gone" means "having gone" but not yet back or not yet left the destination.What about the following? Are the trips over? ?I have gone on a trip with my wife on the weekend. ?I would have gone on a trip with my wife on the weekend.

Hi 'Gone on' is a phrasal verb, slightly different from 'gone', but I believe the same rules apply. I can't think of an exception - I have gone on a trip with my wife (= at the time of writing, I am still on the trip) - I went on a trip with my wife (at the time of writing, I am now home) Hope this helps, Dave
