"Merry Travels" by ajk
Happy Sunday.
Given that the SSS cupboards were looking a bit bare, I put together another pretty straightforward but hopefully entertaining puzzle this week. It's inspiration will be self-explanatory, so much so that folks might well be able to take a couple of short cuts. But there is also a regular path.
Thanks to @Abide, and @Wendy Walker for test solving, and in Wendy's case for a key addition to a clue. Thanks as usual to @Joe Ross for tech support.
The meta answer is a means of transport.

Nudges later today, if needed. And I am of course always available via PM for additional help. Reveal on Saturday.
Hope you enjoy!
cheers,
Alan

SSSolved! Thanks for the puzzle, Alan!! Merry Christmas everyone!!!
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta!

@ajk A good idea as we bash our heads against the MGWCC (only 29 on the board as of now) and get ready for holiday activities
