Speed of light...instantatious Travel??

Ummm...i'm not sure if i was clear. i read from some website about time dilation.
Which means let's say IF i travel in a ship at 99% the speed of light, the time dilation factor is 7. erm, so if i'm in space for a year constantly travelling at that speed, and i land on earth; seven years would have passed on earth despite i aged only one year.
so if i AM travelling at the speed of light, i would have travel ____ light years to an observer, but it would be just a fleeting moment for me. am i wrong??
