That's true. According to Feynman's book ``QCD'', the traveling of
a photon is can be described as a combination of a lot of Feynman
diagrams, in which the photon sometimes decays into a particle-
antiparticle pair, and so on. As far as I understood it, each (virtual)
photon traveled with speed c, but the net result was an uncertancy
on macroscopic scale. However, usually this uncertancy is very small,
but maybe measurable.

I'm not an expert on this subject, so please correct me if I put
something not totally correct.
