Vacations not worth it?

It appears that most Americans aren't too into vacations anymore.

Many Americans seem to eschew traditional vacations — a trend that has some experts worried that workers are not getting away from their jobs to relax and recharge, both physically and mentally. The reasons vary, from having too few vacation days available to lacking money for travel. But in some cases, it seems, many people just aren't getting into the habit of getting away.

I want on a vacation a few weeks ago. 5 nights, 6 days in Wildwood, NJ. It was great. Doing nothing, sitting on the beach, going out to a few nice restaurants, and just...relaxing.

It was so much fun, I'm now bummed I'm back. It was great sitting on the beach for hours at a time, half dozing, listening to the surf, the wind, the seagulls. An occasional airplane carrying a banner advertising a surf shop or a restaurant special. It was truly a great week. I want to go back.

I just don't see how people don't want to go on vacation? It is a great chance to recharge and rejuvenate yourself.
