Translation help

Hello All,

My neighbor is traveling back to India to see his and his wife's familie (they have not seen them in some time). I would like to wish them safe and happy travels in Hindi.

Can someone help me with a translation to tell them this.

I would be most appreciative!

Thanks!

Aap ki yatra sukhad aur mangalmai ho. This is a very 'official' greetings.

a more colloquial send off for friends could be : 'acche se jaana aur enjoy KARNA/ KARKE AANA' literally translated in to 'go well (meaning be safe) and enjoy yourself'.


cheerio!
