Footnotes ...

<1>Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' distance. A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Trois-Ruisseaux) to Point B. In other words: 'As the crow flies'.
<2>While we have tried to pick reasonable speeds, the rate of travel is very theoretical - obstacles like fences, hills, lakes, river crossings and rest stops have been ignored. When we say 'Days' of travel, we're assuming 8 hours of travel per day.
<3>The shortest line can be visualized by stretching a string on a Globe from Point A to Point B - this is known as a Great Circle Route. Where you might expect the shortest route from Trois-Ruisseaux to the Middle East to be East and South, the Great Circle Route actually lies to the North and East.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Trois-Ruisseaux. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 46.2167, Longitude: -64.2167    
<4>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Jerusalem is 299.019 degrees.
<5>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 294.722 degrees.
<6>The calculated bearing (or angle) to the Vatican is 295.033 degrees.
