For one Shilsen already mentioned that some people like a more character driven approach (and I'm one of them).The other thing is that some of the stuff you describe would be skipped can actually be fun. I mean, we are seeking a planar locationl and the travel is skipped? Sorry, that would be lame to me, unless you're so high level that it's the matter of a simple spell (and then it's just *blamm* we're there anyway).Instead I'd prefer another pulp/movie device for that, a montage.
