Some historical facts
February in America is a “harvest” month for holidays, sometimes unusual ones: Groundhog Day, New Year, according to the Eastern calendar; Valentine’s Day, Kindness Day. Along with them, Americans celebrate several national historical dates this month. The first of these is National Liberty Day, the anniversary of the signing of the Congressional Resolution to abolish slavery. This event is associated with the name of Abraham Lincoln, whose birthday falls on the 12th. America’s first president, George Washington, was born on February 22.
Americans have been celebrating Washington’s birthday since the end of the 18th century. He won popular recognition in the War of Independence and cemented it in the presidency. This day was not an official holiday, but balls and festivities were held in honor of it. In 1885, it became nationwide.
Washington was not only the first President of the United States, but also a very significant and respected personality. However, in the middle of the 19th century, another historical figure appeared – Abraham Lincoln, who extinguished the confrontation between the North and the South, eliminated slavery, rallied the country, and became a national hero for many Americans. His birthday was unofficially celebrated by the population of many states.
This holiday is one of two days of the year when free access to the Library of Congress opens. Here is stored a draft law on the abolition of slavery, written by the hand of A. Lincoln.

In the hands of the driver there will be either a sign with the name, or the name of the hotel where they will be delivered, or there will be the name of the company that makes the transfer.
Our drivers meet and help to settle in, answer questions, and give recommendations on holidays in the country. Driver and guide, two in one. The company collects feedback, monitors what is written on social networks, and if the driver fails to cope with the transfer, he can be fired. We always value reputation.

If you are arriving for the first time or arriving in an unfamiliar city, the transfer service is indispensable. No need to worry about getting lost or not getting a taxi.
It is also worth noting the saving of time and nerves, because the arrival in a new place is associated with micro stresses about “How will we get there?”, “Who will meet us?” etc.
