Far outside our solar system at 8.7 billion miles we might find the heliosheath. This lies beyond the termination shock, which is the boundary formed where the solar wind meets the interstellar medium. Use the link below to verify facts, see diagrams, and learn more. While 8.7 billion miles is a lot on our Earthly scale, it's nothing on an interstellar or galactic scale. It's still well inside the Milky Way galaxy. In fact, the nearest star other than the Sun is something like 3000 times further away than that. The nearest "actual galaxy" to the earth that is not a satellite of the Milky Way is probably the Andromeda's NGC 185, a dwarf galaxy, which lies some 1.18 x 1019 miles (1.18 times 10 billion billion miles) from earth.

How long would it take you to travel to the Andromeda galaxy at an average speed of 20mph?
The Andromeda galaxy is around 2.5 million light years away, but is moving towards out galaxy at a speed of about 100 to 140 kilometres per second (62 to 87 miles/sec). Our galaxy will collide with it in around 4.5 billion years. A long time, but you wont get far travelling at 20mph in that time, on an astronomical scale anyway, barely outside our own solar system.
