📣 Traveler notes

The United States is geographically diverse, including major metropolitan areas (e.g., Manhattan, Chicago), natural wonders (e.g., Yellowstone, Alaska), and varied coastal environments.

• Non-retail government offices, post offices, and banks often close for federal holidays.
• The holiday season (Thanksgiving through New Year's) can lead to crowding in airports, roads, and commercial areas.
• Federal holidays falling on a weekend are frequently observed on the nearest weekday.
• Additional holidays are observed at state and local levels beyond the official federal list.
• When dining, wait until all diners are served before eating. It is courteous to bring a small gift (like wine or flowers) when visiting a private home. For large meals, leftovers are typically packaged to take home.
