You can travel just a 100 thousand years at the speed of light and already cross the galaxy. The Andromedan mind cannot comprehend this

You can cross the galaxy in about 12 years while accelerating at a comfortable 1g. Your newtonian mind cannot comprehend this.

What if my stop is at the other end? I don't want to ride right on by and miss it.

Good point. You need to turn around and start braking at the halfway point, stretching the time needed to 22 years and a few months.
