📣 Traveler notes
The United States features diverse geography, including metropolitan centers (e.g., Manhattan, Chicago), natural wonders (Yellowstone, Alaska), arid canyonlands (Southwest), and tropical coastlines (Florida, Hawaii).
- Federal government offices, post offices, and banks typically close on federal holidays, but private businesses may vary.
- If a federal holiday falls on a weekend, the observance often shifts to the nearest weekday.
- During the holiday season (Thanksgiving to January 1), expect crowds at airports, roads, and transportation hubs.
- New Year's Day (January 1) is a federal holiday, and most non-retail businesses are closed.
- Table manners are generally European-influenced; avoid noisy eating or loud conversations. When visiting a private home, consider bringing a small host/hostess gift. If invited to a meal, confirm if you should contribute a dish or item.
