Can you provide a little more detail around your setting and your character goals? If you look at Tolkien and The Lord of the Rings, they adventure group went on an apparently long journey and had a few encounters along the way (Tom Bombadil, who could have been left out without reducing the story any, the bar where they picked up Aragorn, the Elves, etc.). In almost every encounter they picked up another traveling companion. If your adventure party is starting out whole, you don’t have that need. They should encounter some sort of conflict along the way, if for no other reason than to exercise their different character strengths for the reader, but mostly travel is just travel.
