✈️ Travel Preparation:
🪪 First, be sure to bring the original and a copy of your US visa, as well as your passport, ID card, and itinerary. Also, save digital copies on your phone and in your email.
📱 Buy a local US SIM card or activate international roaming in advance. Bring a plug adapter; US outlets use the flat-pin standard.
👕 In September, there is a large temperature difference between the north and south of the US. Bring a light jacket, short-sleeved shirts, and long pants. Also, pack a pair of comfortable walking shoes suitable for sightseeing.
🔋 Bring a power bank, fast charger, camera charger, common medications, and sunscreen. Buying medicine locally in the US can be quite troublesome.
