There's a slight caveat to this whole distance thing. The 306 kilometers (or 190 miles) is the distance as the crow flies, which is great for those aforementioned pigeons, but less helpful for us car-bound humans.
Depending on the route you take (highway, scenic backroads, that one time you got lost and ended up in Vermont), the actual driving distance can vary by a few kilometers. But hey, that's part of the adventure, right?
