From Cairo to Alexandria: (origin and destination - 'for' also works) From Rameses for Sukkoth: (origin and purpose - 'to' doesn't work here) We set out early from New York City to avoid the rush. (origin and reason - in order to) Again, we're dealing with prepositions, and they don't always seem logical; but they're always tricky.
