AC electricity does not really travel anywhere. It is more like a force at one end of a long stick that pushes the opposite end. It moves electrons at one end of a wire and that causes electrons to move at the opposite end. Because the entire wire is chock full of electrons. Each electron going in the wire has to force an electron out the opposite end.
