I'll tell you I certainly miss the vacation allowance I had in the UK. Over there we started with 4 weeks and it increased, usually to a 6 week maximum. Over here, it's a standard 2 weeks, and maybe more if you're high enough in management. And sometimes you'll get an extra week for sick leave which in most cases is "use it or lose it". I think most of my sick days recently have actually been used as vacation days LOL.
