I think that you might need to take several trips to orbit to get things established, but that once you had your little 'space camp' set up you could go quite far.
Assumption: if you have the superpower of flight, you somehow develop enough 'thrust' to overcome gravity...and that can can continue to develop the same 'thrust' even after gravity is no longer a factor.
So if you were in 0g, you could accelerate at 1g, and if you were suitably attached to a spacecraft 99x your mass, then you could accelerate at 0.01g.
I think that Mars would be achievable for as a long summer outing :)
