And what's wrong with simulator time? Probably get a whole lot more out of it than GPS direct to get some lunch at a different airport
You are right, it is excessive time and probably best placed somewhere else.
I said "some would venture to say....", personally I believe simulators have their place... but they too can have an excessive amount of hours. Also, you don't have to do GPS direct to get some lunch at a different airport... you can do approaches, holdings, talk to ATC etc... and come across unusual situations that may help you understand things better... and then get lunch. Time in a 152 can be of great value.. it's just what you make of it.
