Question

What does "go away to somewhere" mean?
For example, my family went away to New York.
Does it mean to go away from New York or to go away from here to New York?

Thank you

Answer

The phrase "go away to somewhere," as in your example, means to travel from the current location or place to the specified destination. So, in your sentence, "My family went away to New York," it means they traveled from their current location to New York. It does not mean they went away from New York.

Answer

The "away" part simply implies it is a bit far away.
