Seeking Travel deals and Tips: Ottawa to Grand Rapids for Friend's Wedding Seeking Travel deals and Tips: Ottawa to Grand Rapids for Friend's Wedding

I'm a student traveling from Ottawa to Grand Rapids, Michigan for a friend's wedding on June 22. Planning to depart on the 21st and return on the 23rd. I'm seeking tips on websites for booking flights, hotels, accommodations, and rentals, considering a traveler with mobility issues. Unfortunately, driving isn't feasible for someone with a disability. Thanks for any tips and suggestions you can offer!

Apps/recommendations for itinerary planning? Apps/recommendations for itinerary planning?

Hi there!
I am looking for some recommendations on how to make my itinerary planning easier. I find myself spending quite some time going over thousands of blogs and can't get things organized properly. Some friends told me they don't really plan anything and simply try to get hold of a local. I have quite a long trip ahead of me in the coming months and I don't think that would work for me...
Do you know of any app or suggestions I could use?
Thanks
