If you happen to be a photon, it's not difficult at all, provided you are heading in the right direction, and you don't bump into anything during the trip. In fact, from your point of view as a photon the trip will be instantaneous. If you are human, it is completely impossible at this time. The Milky Way is about 100,000 light years in diameter. We are in the arm of our barred spiral galaxy which is known as the Orion Arm. We are roughly between 25,000 and 27,000 light years from the galactic center. Older estimates gave us a distance of roughly 35,000 light years away from the center. See link for more details.
