📣 Traveler notes

The United States is a vast nation encompassing diverse geographies, ranging from metropolitan areas (e.g., Manhattan, Chicago) to natural wonders (e.g., Yellowstone, Alaska) and coastal regions (e.g., Florida, Hawaii).

• Federal government offices, post offices, and banks close on federal holidays, though private businesses may remain open.
• If a federal holiday falls on a weekend, the observed holiday may shift to the nearest weekday.
• The time between Thanksgiving and January 1 is known as the 'holiday season,' which often involves crowded travel and commerce.
• New Year's Day (January 1) is a federal holiday, and most non-retail businesses are typically closed.
• Dining etiquette is generally European-influenced; maintain discreet table manners. When visiting a private home, it is thoughtful to bring a small gift for the host and to confirm if a dish or drink contribution is needed for the meal.
