A 3 way switch has three screw terminals. 1 at the top of the switch 2 at the bottom. The top screw get the hot leg. The 2 bottom screws are for the Travellers..the 2 wires will go to the 2 screw terminals on the second 3 way switch the top screw on the second switch goes to the light. I hope you can understand that, It is very easy to do. If you plan to switch the light from more than 2 places you will need to add a 4 way switch at the additional locations
