About this word search

Rest stop and Highway belong to the American road trip, while Customs, Currency and Jet lag come with flying abroad. Itinerary comes from the Latin iter, meaning journey.

The grid uses all eight directions. Departure gate, Ferry terminal and Vacation home are long and unbroken, so they show up early. GPS is the hard one, only three letters, and it could just as well be running backwards.

Waiting at the gate, older kids can mark each word they actually see around them, from a Lounge chair to a Runway through the window.
