neutral  Raghunathan Rajagopalan: "errand" means a short journey made to deliver or collect something, especially on someone else's behalf. So prefix "personal" is contradictory. You can say personal visits / journey / travel, but not errands.

  -> Permit me to disagree: A short trip taken to perform a specified task, usually for another. But not always.
agree  gangels (X): You can run an errand for yourself. But perhaps private and 'personal interest travel (trips)' would be better
