Yep, I have a bunch of overseas co-workers, and we've discussed the difference in attitudes towards holidays. In the U.S., it seems like most people now tend to hop a plane to go to a destination, then stay there. My European colleagues are far more likely to make the journey the important part, whether it's by bike, car, or train.
