Generally, I may look at the size of the zone presented as actual size, but the area between zones I imagine is quite a bit more vast. A similar concept I apply to Ul'dah, it is suppose to be a massive merchant city so I assume it is really quite big in areas we cannot physically go to on our characters.
A journey from Ul'dah to the Forgotten Springs may be a short run once you are in the Southern regions, but I tend to treat the longer part of the trip to happen in the loading screens.
Someone I know Rped a good couple day Journey between Northern Shroud and Coerthas, If you want the 'loading screen' rp to take place in game just find a place in the zone you want that fits your idea for the scene.
The concept of time in RPing is really quite bendable, as you can be RPing for a couple hours and technically only said enough ICly for 15 minutes of time if it was occurring IRL. So really the safest thing to do is just give the concept of time the boot and RP it at your tempo rather than worrying about how true to life things are being.
