Vacation, all I never wanted

That B & B owner (see below) probably has little to worry about with American visitors because Americans are increasingly turning away from going away. According to a survey taken at the beginning of the summer,

40 percent of consumers had no plans to take a vacation over the next six months –— the lowest percentage recorded by the group in 28 years. A survey by the Gallup Organization in May based on telephone interviews with a national sample of 1,003 adults found that 43 percent of respondents had no summer vacation plans.

That old Protestant work ethic still alive and well, I guess.
