We arrive in Ecuador

The flight from the US to Ecuador is pretty easy and quick though all the flights go through Atlanta, Miami or Texas depending on which airline you choose. We had lots of miles on Delta so a layover in Atlanta was on our schedule.
The Atlanta airport is HUGE! There are 5 terminals with a "plane train" running between them. Every terminal has different food choices. Starbucks is in Terminal C if you are a coffee junkie like me. I have experienced several layovers in Atlanta before and I always have to go to a different terminal to catch my next flight.
I took a photo of the Ecotrash compactor because I thought it was interesting.
I had collected so many Delta miles due to opening a Delta Amex card with a sign up bonus and then going on two family trips where I earned miles on Delta. To be honest, it's not my preferred airline. I don't think they are very generous with award seats and availability.
All international flights arrive into Quito around 11:30pm so 5 flights arrived at the same time to go through customs. Since they do this every night, they were quite efficient and we were done by 12:15am and on our way to Quito.
The Quito airport is 40 minutes from the city center and it was pouring rain. See the photo out the car window.
