I once did the calculation. If you accelerate at a lovely 9.81 m/s^2 you reach light speed in about a year or so. So if you time it right and decelerate with the same rate you can reach about any place in the nearby universe in about two years.
Just need to figure out this pesky energy problem. And hopefully not collide with cosmic rays on the way.
