[Closed] Working with Americans

If Americans get so little holiday, how do they spend so much time doing cool 'lifestyle' activities and driving around in RVs!?

They don't. Everything is done as a sprint, nobody takes more than a week off at a time and the average RV is used for 2 weeks per year (I actually looked this up a few months ago).

An American couple I know went to a Caribbean island earlier this year for their 20th anniversary. They were in a non-American hotel and were the only people not there for 2 weeks. They now understand my issues with the American work/life imbalance.
