hmmm yeah maybe money i suppose. but whats an extra couple of nights?!?! lol yeah the jet lag mixed with the hype just takes over for a few days! stayin for 3 nights it would be like blink and u'll miss it!! haha
Yes it's true, most Americans only get 1-2 weeks of vacation time per year, more if you stay at the job longer. But I don't know too many people that have been at or will be at any job for more than 5-6 years before moving on, and therefore won't get more than 3 weeks of time off. I've been at my job for 4.5 years, and I only get 2 paid weeks of vacation plus a handful of personal days per year.
Oh man that kinda sucks, we get 4 week paid leave and you can take unpaid leave if you want extra or leave in advance, and 10 personal days a year (that I always feel too guilty to use) and they accrue.
