Using Inner Join to Determine the Spacing Between Specific Records and Related Events in a Table

I have a simple table that is used to record events against specific visits:

Describe Histories;
    +------------------+
    | Field            |
    +------------------+
    | HistoryId        |
    | VisitId          |
    | Location         |
    | Event            |
    | EventTime        |
    +------------------+

Persons associated with visit (VisitId). For each visit, a person may have several history entries. Activities may include entry, transfer or unloading.

I am trying to write a query to calculate the duration at each location for each person. Please note that they may visit the location several times for each visit. A person enters a place with a reception or transfer and leaves with a conclusion or transfer.
