How long would this take?

If going 93,000 kilometers per second and you are travelling a distance of 67 light years how long would it take to reach your destination? The relativistic change factor at this velocity is I think 1.05 not sure after all I failed college math. I am writing a SciFi book and I am trying to keep it accurate so I just need to know how long it would take to get there.

    As one light year is 9,500,000,000,000 kilometers. Then it would take 102,150,537.63440860 Seconds.; or 1,702,508.9605734767 Minutes; or 28,375.149342891278 Hours, which is 1,182.2978892871365 Years, which translates to: 3.23917229941681 Years for only 1 light year.

    Now, multiply by 67 and you have your answer: 217.02454406092627 YEARS
