📣 Notas para viajeros

The U.S. offers highly diverse geography, ranging from urban centers (e.g., Manhattan, Chicago) to natural wonders (e.g., Yellowstone, Alaska), including varied areas like canyonlands and coastlines. Popular tourist destinations include Florida, Hawaii, and Southern California.

• Federal holidays typically result in government offices, post offices, and banks being closed. Private businesses may vary.
• If a federal holiday falls on a weekend, the observance is usually shifted to the nearest weekday, but activities may occur on the actual annual date.
• The period between Thanksgiving (fourth Thursday in November) and January 1 is the 'holiday season,' which can be extremely crowded in travel and shopping areas.
• Specific federal holidays, like New Year's Day (January 1), usually see most non-retail businesses closed.
• Dining etiquette is generally European-influenced; it is acceptable to begin eating with hot food, but wait until all diners are served. When visiting a private home, bringing a small hostess gift is appropriate, though contributing to the meal is rarely expected. To leave a meal, ask the server for packaging for leftovers.
