Overview

USA: a global brand, a cluster of seductions, a wealth of surprises.

The USA is home to several of the world's most exciting cities, some truly mind-blowing landscapes, a strong sense of regionalism, a trenchant mythology, more history than the country gives itself credit for and, arguably, some of the most approachable natives in the world.

'America is the world's living myth.' - Don Delillo

The US was fashioned from an incredibly disparate population who, with little in common apart from a desire to choose their own paths to wealth or heaven, rallied around the ennobling ideals of the Declaration of Independence to forge the richest, most inventive and most powerful country on earth.

Travel warning! - California Fires - Carry-on Baggage Restrictions

Wildfires in Southern California have forced people from their homes in San Diego County, Orange County and Los Angeles County. Travelers in the area should monitor local news sources for developments.

Restrictions on airline carry-on baggage are in place throughout the US. For details check the Transport Security Administration website.
