📣 Traveler notes

The United States offers diverse destinations, ranging from urban areas (Manhattan, Chicago) and natural sites (Yellowstone, Alaska) to beaches (Florida, Southern California). During the 'holiday season' (Thanksgiving to January 1), travelers should allow extra time due to potential crowding in major infrastructure areas.

• Federal government services (offices, post offices, banks) are typically closed on federal holidays.
• Private businesses may or may not observe federal holidays.
• The holiday season (Thanksgiving to January 1) can result in heavy crowding of transportation hubs and retail centers.
• Major airports, roads, and train stations are anticipated to be heavily populated around major holidays.
• Dining etiquette is generally influenced by European customs; maintain quiet behavior and wait until all diners are served before eating. When visiting private homes, a small gift for the host is appreciated but not required for the meal.
