Vacations are just one place that the Europeans ( and Aussies) are more civilized than we are.

The Japanese take even less time off than we do, but at least they LIKE to work, unlike most Americans :)

I will have a choice as a teacher to stagger my paycheck over twelve months instead of nine.... and I will TRAVEL MY ASS OFF!

Long weekends in the Bay Area as my only sojourns just do not cut it anymore...

  "Long vacation" is a relative concept. I once went to Rome for a week
  because there was no way to fit a two-week vacation into a month-long print
  cycle. Looking back, I realize I should have tried for the full two weeks I
  had coming at the time, and asked if someone could cover for me--but I'm a
  control freak. I think my honeymoon (three years later) was close to two
  weeks, so I did get better over the years.

  But a week seems pretty normal to me for most Americans: two weeks' vacation
  out of the year is customary, and no one wants to squander all their
  vacation days on one trip--so it's sensible to take one week as a long
  vacation, and either use up the rest in a second trip, or create long
  weekends by tacking on the vacation days here and there, so one can go on
  several little trips.

  Of course, some people take sabbaticals every year--or every couple of
  years--but that's unusual.
