Он рассказал мне, как в прошлом году он ездил в Америку. - He told me how he visited the US last year. (Although I am not sure this sentence is correct in English) - He told me how it was, it underlines that some details about his trip were desribed.

And one more fact: the subordinate conjunction "что" is not always translated "that", it can be translated "what" depending on the context:
Я сказал ему, что я ему позвоню позже. - I told him that I would call him later.
Я сказал ему, что я сейчас делаю. - I told him what I was doing at the moment.
