Once again it depends on how fast you're going. Using the fastest speed a manmade rocket (unmanned) has travelled it would take around 4300 years. So that's the fastest you could hope to get there.

It depends on how fast you traveled. If you travel at speeds much smaller than that of light, a time would pass on Earth equal to the time you spent traveling. If you travel at a significant fraction of the speed of light, then more time would pass on Earth than the passage of time you experienced while traveling. But since 6 x 10^12 miles is about one light year, which isn't really that far when you're traveling at speeds comparable to that of light, you're not going to find that everyone you ever knew is dead of old age by the time you get there, or anything like that.

We cannot answer your question without specifying the speed at which you shall be traveling.
However, assuming you will be traveling at the fastest speed known to man – WITHOUT YOUR SPACE SHIFT BURNING TO OBLIVION – which is at the speed of light of 186,282.397 miles per second, then the travel time will be as follows:
T = Distance/speed
T = 6,000,000,000.000/186,282.397
T = 32,209,162.52 seconds or 8,946.99 hours or 372.79 days THE ANSWER
Second qualification: THAT YOU WILL NOT RUN OUT OF FUEL FOR THE DURATION OF THE TRIP.
Third qualification: THAT THE THRILLION TERM YOU USED IS FROM THE AMERICAN SYSTEM OF COUNTING, WITH TWELVE ZEROE, AND NOT FROM
THE OTHER EUROPEAN NATIONS’ CONCEPT OF A THRILLION

If one was to travel a distance of 6 x10^9 miles it would take a short time if the speed of travel was at the velocity of light.
That means the faster you travel the less time you have to get to your destination.That in Relativity theory is called time dilation reduction.
So to travel that distance at light speed would take 32258.06452 seconds or 0.00102224368 year.
If the travel speed would have been1/10 the spped of light it would have taken less time dilation.

You'd end up a little over 1 LY from the Earth.
