Our ‘When you’re there’ section has some great information on what you can expect from America’s varied climate.  From hot & humid summers & freezing winters to deserts and mountains.  You’ll find some tips on what to expect as well as a link to a great weather site for you to check the forecast for your destination. We’ve also put together some useful pointers on eating and drinking in the states, the tipping culture and buying alcohol.  Finally, some information on shopping in the USA including how and when sales tax is added on (very useful indeed!)
