Some USA travel Note

 If you're coming into the US on a visa make sure that you understand the conditions of that visa and also, most importantly, understand  when the visa is going to expire. If this is your first visit, much will  be familiar about the United States  but there are some important differences.

For example, there are different  layers of policing in the US, including for example, university campus police. The legal drinking age in the US is 21, not 18.  Underage drinking is taken very seriously and if you're under the age of 21 and caught drinking  you can face severe fines or even a night or two in jail.

You should always make sure you take  out comprehensive travel insurance too.  Medical expenses can be huge over here and I'm aware of cases where people have  spent hundreds of thousands of dollars out of their own pocket covering medical bills because they either didn't have travel insurance or they didn't have the right type of insurance. There's a saying in the travel business actually,  if you can't afford the travel insurance  then you can't afford to travel.

While travelling it's a good idea to keep your friends  and family well informed of where you're going and that way if there's an emergency either here or at home we'd be able to locate you quickly. If there is an emergency such as say an earthquake,    then you should always follow the  instructions of the local authorities. I hope you find those tips useful.
Safe travels!
