When there is motion from one place to another, is it
appropriate/acceptable to specify both places?  And more specifically, is
it acceptable to specify multiple objects/non-objects?

pa'vo' pa'Daq vIHtaH qa'
The spirit keeps moving from room to room.

Or is this an example of shoe-horning a english construct to tlhIngan?
Would it be more appropriate (following simplicity), to say:

pa'vo' vIHtaH qa', 'ej pa'Daq vIHtaH qa'
The spirit keeps moving from the room, and keeps going to the room.

Or perhaps more eloquently,
'ej pa'Daq cheghtaH.
and keeps returning to the room.
