gala

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

'fair trip' is the definition.
'gala' can be an answer for 'fair' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'trip' bit.

'georgia to los angeles' is the wordplay.
'georgia' becomes 'GA' (abbreviation for the US state).
'to los angeles' becomes 'LA' (abbreviation).
'ga'+'la'='GALA'

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gala that I've seen before include "A show of charity" , "Public party" , "Festivity - celebration" , "Festive occasion - variety of apple" , "Special sports event" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
