You are thinking of Astophysics and linear distances .... for shame .... you could lose your Starfleet uniform and plastic Vulcan ears for that < /sarcasm>

Seriously, the concept for travelling this distance has been the subject of sci-fi and advanced physics courses for decades. The approach is called 'folding space'. Essentially, you create a wormhole to the coordinates you wish to travel to, then fold space such that you only travel a short distance to your destination; then allow normal space to 'spring' back to regular space, and you are there.Link
The only downside is the amount of energy required is near infinite .... but other than that .....

No, the real problem with that is the escalating crude oil prices. I mean, how many barrels of oil would be needed to produce an infinite amount of energy?

I understand the concept. What I'd like to know is how exactly does one go about creating a wormhole and 'bending space".

This is a nice picture.
