Chicago International Airport

As most people know, Chicago is a massive city with an even bigger airport. Today, Chicago O’Hare International airport is the sixth busiest airport in the United States. This airport is also about to do a complete remodel making the space modern ands fresh. When I was 16 i was traveling from Houston, Texas to North Carolina with a layover in Chicago. This was truly one of the most terrifying times in my life. The first flight went smoothly from Houston to Chicago, but once I landed I had found out my flight to North Carolina had been cancelled due to weather. I get off the plane crying not knowing where I am or how to even get around this airport. I live in Houston, so i was used to big and busy airports, but nothing like this. The paths were confusing, the signs made no sense, and the way you had to take trains to other terminals was a whole other issue. I had never felt so alone in a place filled with people. Everything was so big to me I felt like an ant. The architecture of this airport is old, which is why there is a remodel on the way! Something interesting to me is that we really only look at the exterior from above in the plane. Most of the time we are in the airports interior, and even when driving to the airport it is usually in a parking garage with transportation.
