1.\nGet your documentation right <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having\nthe proper documentation is of paramount importance since the USA is strict\nwith its documentation. Ensure that your passport is valid for at least six\nmore months when you apply for your visa and that your visa is valid while you\u2019re\ntraveling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.\nBuy a TSA approved lock for your bags <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nUSA government reserves the right to open and check your bags before you enter\nthe country. A TSA-approved lock is a must when you travel to the States. This\nsaves time and makes the security check-in process more straightforward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.\nUnderstand the country\u2019s tipping etiquette <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tipping\nis expected in the USA. You can tip a server between 10%-20% for the service\nthey have provided. This would include drivers, waiters, valets, concierges,\nand other service providers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.\nKnow that you\u2019ll always pay more than the price displayed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All\nthe USA states have display prices which exclude the sales tax. This means that\nwhen you purchase a product, the bill will be up to 10% higher than the display\nprice. This percentage generally varies from state to state.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.\nMust-visit National Parks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nUSA is known for its immense National Park which covers a geographical area of\nabout 84 million acres across every state. From the Mammoth Cave National Park\nin Kentucky, which is the longest cave system in the world to the White Sands\nNational Monument in New Mexico, which has the largest gypsum dunes in the\nworld, these protected areas are truly spectacular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6.\nEnsure you have travel insurance <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is imperative to have travel insurance when taking a tour of the USA. This protective contingency will ensure that you are reimbursed for any lost luggage, trip cancellation and trip curtailment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
