I agree with your calculation.
To put it simpler for the non math sorts: each tiny box = 1000AU
You're both right. Dammit, math strikes again. Okay, so let me try to make this right. Here we go.
Each box is 1000 AU, so inside each box we would have, roughly, the same distance as:
Plus, Carl Sagan explaining what would happen if we travelled at the speed of light. http://youtu.be/lPoGVP-wZv8 500,000 trips to the moon
34 trips from Earth to Neptune
8 Voyager 1 missions as of February 2012.

Assuming each trip takes one minute (I suggest crackers since the'yre faster to grab), it would take 525,600,000,000,000 years for us to cross the distance. Which, considering the age of the universe as 13,000,000,000 years, would take around 40,400 universes at that speed.
Now that's a lotta crackers.
