Getting from A to B

I am the first to admit that I certainly did liken Mathematics to Rocket Science at school. I really should have studied typing, or maybe even woodwork instead.
So having said that, I can't seem to do the equation of getting from point A to B over here, but having to pass through point Q first, taking a left at point T, a sharp right at point V and then finally doing a U-turn (haha) at point X, before finally, inexplicably reaching point B.

But this seems to be how reaching one's point B adds up to over here. I mean, you can literally see your destination, it's right THERE, but once you've navigated around all the detours, you end up thinking it might have only been a mirage.
