Best time to visit the USA: a month-by-month guide for 2026
The best time to visit the United States in 2026 is fall (September to November): mild weather, red leaves across New England, hotels running 30-40% cheaper than summer, and American kids back in school. Skip June through August (U.S. summer break, heat, and peak pricing) and steer clear of Atlantic and Florida hurricane season, which runs June 1 to November 30 and peaks around September 10. This guide breaks it down month by month, region by region, with the actual 2026 holiday dates and the warning no travel agency gives you.

International Driving Permit (IDP): how to get one and where you can drive abroad in 2026
The International Driving Permit (IDP, or PID in Portuguese) is the official translation of your Brazilian CNH for countries under the Vienna Convention. It's valid for up to 3 years (or until your CNH expires, whichever comes first) and is issued within 5 business days by your state's Detran, for R$100 to R$280 (roughly US$18–50) depending on where you live. Across Mercosur and most of Europe, your CNH alone is enough; in the US and at most car rental counters, you'll need the IDP and CNH together. This guide covers how to get an IDP in 2026 — the documents, the real timeline, and the mistakes that get expensive at the rental desk.
