You are correct about each of the hotel's locations. The reason we chose these three is because we are using an interline agency and these are the cheapest they offer. There are 6 others at higher prices.

Our tenative schedule is to leave Chicago on Friday, 12 July on AC for YVR where we will spend the day and have lunch with friends who are driving up from SEA to meet us. That evening we are connecting on to HNL to attend Joey's class reunion. Then on Monday the 15th we are planning to fly onward to SYD for a few days.

Unfortunately we only have a few days and will only visit SYD. We plan to return one day soon to explore other parts of the country. This is just our inaugural visit.

We have to confirm our plans with the agent within a week, but as of yet nothing is firm.
