Starting with today's date I was looking for a "bottom to top" Mercury to Neptune flight. Found one that starts a week from today (Dec 3rd 2010). 17 stages of TransX involving 3 slings of Venus, 2 slings of Earth, then single slings of Jupiter and Saturn takes you direct to Neptune. Fuel has been somewhat limited with about 1500 m/s spare for MCC on those slings. Total flight time is a bit over 18.5 years.
Code:

Starting on Mercury, a 17 stage TransX plan that takes you through, 3 slings of Venus, then 2 slings of Earth, then Jupiter Saturn and finally to Neptune. Fuel is enough for the trip, but staying at Neptune will probably only happen with some aerobraking.
