   When you drive to an airport, there are usually a lot of confusing signs that will show you where you need to park.  One of the neat parts is when you reach the parking lot ticket machine.  The driver pushes a button and the ticket comes out.  The ticket shows what time you parked so that the parking people know what to charge you when you leave.  There is usually a gate that lifts up once the ticket is taken.  That's kind of neat, too.

     You have to park several hundred feet away from the Passenger Terminal so be prepared to walk a little.  This is part of the new security plan so that you will be safer.

     We were lucky.  There were the coolest revolving doors to go through!  You step inside of it and push the door until you get to the other side.  You do need to make sure you aren't pushing it too hard for someone that might be using another section of it.  For folks who don't like this kind of door, there are regular ones next to it.

     At this point you might need to use an escalator or elevator to get to another level, depending on where you parked.  If you have luggage, you will want to get a cart so you don't have to haul heavy stuff  all over the place.  Luggage gets very heavy--very quickly.  There are usually special areas with carts to borrow.

     Most airports have signs that tell you where you can find different areas [like Check In].  They also have other signs that give information like no smoking and no pets allowed. 
     Follow the signs to Check In.
