Yeah people from Seattle have much more in common culturally with the people from Vancouver than they do with Texas.

I was largely making a joke, well aware that geographically a trip from Kansas to NC is equivalent of myself to like Greece. Culturually though I think we'd agree one of those is a long bigger distance . And a "break" for me would be like going to Blackpool or London (in own country). If I can go somewhere and it's still Walls ice cream I've not gone far enough.

A vacation is anytime you're getting paid time off work. But a vacation can also be visiting an area that's not at home. Then there's the staycation and that's for people too poor to travel. Holiday's are official days off work from the government like Christmas, Boxing Day, Good Friday, and of course, Victoria Day. So for instance say you were going to Boise Idaho for Christmas, as one does, then that'd be a vacation in your holidays. Then there's summer vacations, which is when goddamn lazy fucking youths get the whole summer off of school, so in that case, say you go to Edmonton for Canada Day on July 1st, you'd be on a vacation, during a holiday, while on summer vacation. A break is something you take at work, usually 15 minutes or an hour for lunch. Glad I could clear this up for everyone.
