📣 Traveler notes

The United States is diverse, offering destinations from major cities (e.g., Manhattan, Chicago) and natural wonders (e.g., Yellowstone, Alaska) to coastal areas and the American Southwest.

  • Federal holidays typically close most government offices, post offices, and banks, though private businesses may operate.
  • If a federal holiday falls on a weekend, observances may shift to the nearest weekday.
  • The period between Thanksgiving and January 1 is the 'holiday season,' which can lead to heavy crowds in public areas.
  • New Year's Day (January 1) is a federal holiday, resulting in closures for most non-retail businesses.
  • When dining in private homes, bringing a small gift (e.g., wine or flowers) is customary. When dining out, wait until all diners are served before starting the meal. Formal settings usually require standard cutlery.
