and the Redcap guy was Greedy .. $5 tip for 30 seconds of effort was unsatisfactory .
took me 2 + hrs to make that back then..

I don't know when the last time you were at Newark/Liberty airport, but the terminals are connected by an above ground rail (tram) service, that also serves the parking, bus, car rental and rail services. The tram is easily accessed from each terminal with elevators and wide escalators, and runs frequently.

Separate terminals for international and domestic flights is SOP at large, major city airports. It makes it easier to keep things like baggage/customs clearance and port services separate from domestic flights. Actually Newark is among the better airports for foreign entry, and Miami possibly the worst.
