Help: Japanese Travel Dolls

When I was in Japan (1991), it was common for my friends to give a paper girl doll with a Kanji phrase on it to someone who was taking a trip. Can someone give me background and tell me what the Kanji said? I think it was for luck, but am not sure. Thanks!

I've never heard of these dolls. It may be either a regional custom or the one just among your friends. "Omamori(charm)" from shrines often carries 旅行安全 or 安全祈願 for travel safety.
