Tips
Climate
The overall climate is temperate, with notable exceptions. Alaska has Arctic tundra, while Hawaii and South Florida are tropical. The Great Plains are dry, flat and grassy, turning into arid desert in the far West. Depending on where you travel you will have a different climate.
Money
The official U.S. currency is the United States dollar (symbol: $), divided into 100 cents (¢). Common American bills are for $1, $5, $10, $20, and $50 with $2 and $100 bills considerably less common.
Language
English is the national language. Although there is no official language at the federal level, some laws—such as U.S. naturalization requirements—standardize English.
Travel
Because the U.S. is so big travel is possible in any way, by plane, by car or by boat. National flights are not that expensive in the U.S.
