Take a quick hop
Hi teachers,
After breakfast Murphy and friends take a quick hop north to visit Yangmingshan.
In dictioanry, hop means to take a short trip, especially by air. It just doesn't make sense here, but the dictionary tells otherwise.
Would you please tell me the meaning of it?
Thank you.

Hi Dave Philips,
I copied this sentence out of Newsweek magazine. And the writer used present tense describing a recent trip to Taiwan.
I sometimes confused when there's more than one or close meaning for a word.
Could "take a quick hop north to (a place)" mean "take a short distance"?
Thank you.

I would think that is the idea, although very difficult to tell without knowing where they are in relation to the place they visit. I still thing the tense should have been in the passed. After breakfast denotes the time period so therefore is unlikely that it is present especially in an article, however without the whole article it is difficult to tell.

tinanam0102After breakfast Murphy and friends take a quick hop north to visit Yangmingshan.I don't understand the difficulty here. It means they take a short journey north.

Hi Mr. Wordy,
Thank you for your explanation. I didn't understand the meaning of "hop", now I understand, it doesn't mean they hop on a plane, just simply "a short journey".
