Yeah, there were a lot of gaps between the start and end of the SAO game.. The author didn't want to cover 2 years worth of stuff, so he skipped alot, and filled in bits and pieces through later aditions, as side stories. The Anime is simply following as much of the Novel as it can, chronologically.. After this arc, there won't really be many time skips, except for a couple in between arcs..
