Yep
Loads of vacation on this side of the water...... July and August produce ghost towns. I have 9 weeks of holiday left myself but as an American I can not think of using all of that time while work backs up.

"I have a good friend from Finland, and she says they get about eight weeks vacation per year to start, and 11 is pretty common. They also don't work 40 hours a week, more like 35."
