We are bored to death, counting the hours till gateway...

Hi

What is the meaning of gateway here? Also, why isn't the there before house?

We are bored to death, counting the hours till getaway. The packers came yesterday; house is empty.

(the family is going to Germany forever--and of their own accord)

Thanks,

Tom

It's getaway not gateway. The lack of "the" before house is probably due to stylistic reasons
