Maureen:   
	No question is stupid, especially concerning Pearson Airport. As
the major hub in MidEastern Ontario, for most of us wary travellers going
anywhere in Canada or the US, it is more a nightmare to be endured. 

	Pearson is the airport on the west side of Toronto. Physically,
you can probably see the Venture Inn as you extend flaps on final
approach. This is the definitely the one to fly into for FKO, as the
others are across town in many directions. Now getting to the hotel is
another story. Pearson is a BIG place with MANY Terminal buildings.

	If memory serves me, you're comming up from the States right? In
that case you will probably be clearing Canadian Customs after you land. I
know that the Venture Inn has a shuttlebus to and from Pearson, but I'm
not quite sure where to catch it. My best advice is to phone the hotel
directly, ( 416 ) 674-2222 [ Eastern time zone ] , and ask them where to catch
the bus, and at what times. Tell them where you're de-planing, and they may
even be able to give you instructions on getting to the bus stop. 

	Hope this helps. The FKO website may also have more details. Try,

	Take care, have a good flight, and I'll see you there.
