Yup
Stay first night in Jasper. Then probably two nights at Fairmont lake Louise
Nice. We did the same drive the other way. The Fairmont Jasper is not nearly as nice as the Lake Louise it Banff ones.

Figured that. Which is why I'll probably only get one Fairmont card for my two nights on Banff. Have to figure out where I'll stay the first night

It was quite some time ago, so no points stays. I can try to recall the actual itinerary (activities) though if you're interested.

Yes. And where you stayed in Jasper. Seems like the only points hotel is the Fairmont and I will only have 2 free nights and will use them in Lake Louise, so I need to figure out where to stay in Jasper

I can look up where we stayed but I know I wouldn't recommend it. It was a cabin that was really, really old.

I'm booked yyz-sfo-ogg on 7/29 with united miles air Canada connecting to united. landing in SFO at 10:30 AM. I original was scheduled to leave SFO at 7:30, leaving me a full day to see Alcatraz, GG bridge and get dinner. My flight was changed to 4:40 so now I have my options open. At this point I don't think it makes sense to go touring in SFO, just not enough time.
So, there is a ~12:30 flight to ogg, so I could take that. Any other ideas of what I should try to switch to? Not interested in adding a stop.

Don't you mean 5:30pm from SFO-OGG?

Correct. I guess it would have been right anyways but 7 hours seems much more doable than 6

7 hours should be enough for Alcatraz and GG bridge.
Forget dinner, SFO's food situation makes CLE's look gourmet.

Either way. Now it's only 6 hours. Which I think is cutting it too tight

I guess I'm really on the 5:30. Leave it or switch to the 1PM flight?

7:05 is plenty of time to do Alcatraz/GG if that's what you want.
