📣 Notas para viajeros

The United States features diverse geography, including major cities (e.g., Manhattan, Chicago), natural sites (e.g., Yellowstone, Alaska), coastlines (e.g., Pacific Northwest, Florida, Hawaii), and desert regions (e.g., Southwest).

• Federal offices (including post offices and banks) are generally closed on federal holidays, but private businesses may operate.
• If a federal holiday falls on a weekend, the observance often shifts to the nearest weekday.
• The period between Thanksgiving and January 1 is known as the 'holiday season,' characterized by crowded airports, roads, and stores.
• New Year's Day (January 1) is a federal holiday, causing closures at most non-retail businesses.
• Wait until all diners at a table have been served before starting to eat. When attending a private meal, a small hostess gift is appropriate but not mandatory. When leaving a restaurant, ask the server for 'to go' containers instead of using the term 'doggy bag'.
