Resort fees are an absolute scam. A resort is a resort. Dumpy hotels in Vegas charge these ridiculous fees. Good to point that out, Marc! One FYI about AirBNBits not legal in NYC. There are still postings online but its dicier to do it in NY because its illegal. Some postings are scams. People arrive and theres no apartment. Some are real. Some misrepresent the neighborhood. Some are in buildings where tenants are not happy that someone is renting out their room to (potentially loud, partying) tourists. AirBNB is great elsewhere.

I like the way you can pay with card everywhere. I'm from the UK and most places accept card, but the local businesses tend to be cash only, especially outside cities. Although tipping is something I don't like, and also tax not being included in the prices. I lived in just Japan and UK, and neither country tips so I had to be very conscious of it as to not forget. I wonder is it hard to drive on the right for someone from a left drive country?

Some Wal-Marts like mine still aren't open to 24-hours again yet (we've gone gradually from 8: 30 PM to now 11 PM) since Covid. I'm glad we still have the 6 AM open for seniors in place since Covid. Walgreens is good for 24-hour service if you're not near a 24-hour Wal-Mart, though not all are 24-hour and have a smaller selection. They'll have some microwave dinners and medications and batteries/chargers.

Even though this is one year later, I hope that visitors will consider my home city of Washington D. C. The public transportation is great and there is so much to see and do. The city is beautiful and all of the museums are free! Theres a lot to do and see in nearby suburbs of Maryland and Virginia too. I currently live outside the USA and I do miss the friendliness and interactions even with strangers!

Please try to visit smaller cities/towns during your stay in the US if time allows. Cities don't define all of this beautiful country. The Midwest is so often overlooked. Every foreign friend I've had that comes to the Midwest says it's probably their most favorite part of their US adventures because of the people and natural beauty.

Quick mention on the plug, you should tell people about the voltage difference. Fortunately, the US voltage is lower, so you can't destroy your electronics, but many of them simply won't work if you just get an adapter that changes the shape, without the inverter portion that actually changes the voltage.

Unless you are holding hands with your child or actively conversing, please walk in single file lines on the sidewalk! I've had couples and groups see me coming and slam directly into me because they couldn't bare the thought of sharing the public sidewalk! Now imagine how much worse that would feel being a POC

If you do get pulled over by the police, stay in the car and wait for the officer to come to your window. In some cultures, people are expected to get out of the car and go to the police car, but don't do that in the US. The police officer might consider that a possible threat.

Just wish to have your opinion or other peoples opinion about something. I'm going to the US on June 15th. Do you believe that the travel ban from Europe to USA has been cancelled by then? Is it safe to travel to the US on June because corona virus is still in there?
