My husband and I travel a lot. I agree with the others who recommend the cell phone lot idea. The parking lots/garages at airports are sometimes very confusing and difficult to maneuver. Waiting in the cell phone lot is much less stressful and efficient. The cab idea is also a great one. Never thought of doing that. Thoughts for you are to just stay relaxed and read the signs. They will direct you to the baggage claim area. There are usually monitors that tell you what carousel your luggage will be on. Don't be afraid to ask for help if you are unsure. Airport workers as a rule are very helpful. Good luck and have a wonderful time.
