Time, Distance, and Size are a bit wonky in Star Wars, but if you'll recall, Han does say "It's a bit far, but I think we can make it."
And the Falcon is a Cargo Ship, chances are they had a few supplies on board, as far as food and fuel.
[geek-version]In the West End Games version of the Star Wars RPG, YT-1300s have storage for 2 months 'consumables' (I always assume fuel and food, etc) standard, in addition to the Cargo Space. [/geek version] (I don't have the distance charts memorized, I'm not quite 'that' geeky.)
So, in theory, the Falcon could have been on the way to Bespin for the better part of 8 weeks, which you'd think would still not be enough to get trained as a Jedi (considering they start them out as toddlers), but certainly a lot better than 2 days.
