And if the ship was traveling at 99.999999% the speed of light, 116,800 years would pass on earth in the 160 years you were traveling on the ship.

Nope. If the ship were only traveling 0.999999% the speed of light, there wouldn't be much difference between the amount of time traveling and the amount of time elapsed on earth. At that speed, traveling for only 80 years also wouldn't get you far enough away from earth to reach the closest star and so your 5 years "there" wouldn't be all that interesting unless there was a lot of stuff to do on the spaceship.

You mean 99% the speed of light.
