'Safar-e khubi dāshtim' means 'We had a good trip' — safar-e khubi uses the ezafe to attach 'good', and dāshtim ('we had') is the simple past of dāshtan (to have).
Where English speakers slip
English speakers often flatten the final r into an English r or drop it almost silently as in non-rhotic British English; Persian r must be a clearly articulated tap, audible at the end of the word.
