An outing with Juliet and Sally, perhaps (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

jaunt

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'an outing' is the definition.
(I know that outing can be written as jaunt)

'juliet and sally perhaps' is the wordplay.
'juliet' becomes 'J' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'sally perhaps' becomes 'aunt' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'j'+'aunt'='JAUNT'

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for jaunt that I've seen before include "Outing" , "Short excursion for pleasure" , "Pleasure trip" , "Pleasure journey" , "Pleasurable trip" .)
