>>Well.. except for maybe 2 weeks (in Murica) for er 'vacation', that is.

A couple of years ago while I was on my week's vacation, I came across an interesting statistic in, IIRC, the New York Times. The average Murican's vacation is 3.6 days, down from the legendary 2 weeks of yore.

That's why Disney's packages are set up for 3-4 day vacations - that's typically all the Murican gets anymore.
