📣 Notas para viajantes

The U.S. features diverse regions, including natural wonders (e.g., Yellowstone, Alaska, Southwest canyonlands), major metropolitan areas (e.g., Manhattan, Chicago), and varied coastlines (e.g., Florida, Hawaii, Pacific Northwest).

• Federal holidays often cause non-retail businesses (government offices, banks) to close.
• If a federal holiday falls on a weekend, the observance typically shifts to the nearest weekday.
• The period between Thanksgiving and January 1 is the 'holiday season,' which can result in heavily crowded travel areas.
• The Fourth of July is often celebrated with fireworks in major cities, such as Washington D.C.
• Basic table manners are influenced by European traditions, making slurring or loud conversation rude when dining. When invited to a home, it is customary to bring a small gift. At potluck meals, guests are expected to contribute a dish to share.
