You might already know this, but that's kind of the whole point of the story in the Bible. Based on what I've read, their trip should have, ironically, only taken 11 days. The problem was that most of them lacked faith that God could help them do what he told them to do, so instead God made them wander the wilderness so that the younger generation would learn from the additional trials of their parents that God provides a way.
I love the Caligula type scene in 10 Commandments to demonstrate their lack of faith. Women flailing togas as they roll around golden calf idles. Classic.
