it's a big "if"; it's not possible for objects with mass to accelerate to light speed.
If you were able to do so, yes you could "get" anywhere in zero subjective time - as mentioned earlier, since no time passes for you, there would be no way for you to decide that you wanted to stop travelling at light speed - you would end your existence by impacting something.

Humans, as a species, aren't experienced with relavitistic effects; we have no useful inherent intuition as to how things behave at these sorts of speeds. Most of us have to accept the maths and the experiements that demonstrate that our understanding of this behaviour is accurate.
