Me trying to connect to a friend in Michigan is odd because for some reason....

At #5, my packet went to New Jersey. At #6, packet went to california. at #7 it timed out. At #8 it flew to Kansas At #9 it went to some unknown state or location At #10 it went to new york... Then lots of time outs. In the end its circling the entire USA just to connect to someone to the south east of Ontario in Michigan?
EDIT: Oh look, when i further want to see the locations of those ip again it shows unknown.
Yes I understand that my friend lives in a rural area south of Kalamazoo, but that doesn't mean it's several times slower in response in regards to latency when it comes to connecting to him.
Edit: speed test to Kalamazoo showed 42ms, so reaching his computer won't surpass 90ms as the line to him is weaker in general and frontier covers Michigan.
I used tracert services to tracert my IP... For some reason the Texas server traveled to Ontario the immediately plows past Toronto and ends in Ottawa. Every single server even Montreal had to go to Toronto the Ottawa. The UK went to new York then Toronto then Ottawa.
So my IP tracert to my friend was strange because I'm given IP to route to Ottawa first then to elsewhere.
