Infinity is not a number, it is a mathematical concept of increase beyond bounds. There are two known types of infinity: the countable infinity and uncountable infinity. Any infinite well-ordered set that has a one-to-one correspondence with the natural numbers (1, 2, 3... ) is countably infinite. The set of real numbers is uncountably infinite as there is not a one-to-one correspondence between the real numbers and the natural numbers--take any two real numbers and there are a transinfinite or uncountable set of numbers in between them on the real number scale.
Since infinity it is not a number, it cannot be quantified to a discrete value, and therefore when used in the context of distances, it is not attainable or reachable.

Infinity can be pretty short, actually.
If a person were to draw a line across the circumference of any sphere, that line would be infinitely long in that it has no beginning nor end.

Take the largest number that you can think of and add 1 and your are no closer to infinity than the number one.

You talk about infinity as if it's a place. It is not. It's a mathematical concept to describe what happens when we don't have a number to describe it.
