I am stuck between two paths. I was going to protonate the alcohol to give a better leaving group, leaving a 2 degree carbocation and then go on with a hydride shift. But, I'm not sure what that may turn out to look like, and when exactly the ring is supposed to contract. Or, I was going to have the alkene attack the acid, but after that I wouldn't know what to do with the alcohol.
