Americans may not take all their vacation days, but that
does not mean that we don't spend a lot of
time thinking about those vacation days. New research revealed that

That's probably why thirty six percent of Americans admit they
put those vacation picks on social media to show people
just how great their lives are. So, Steve, you and
your wife Marjorie take wonderful vacation. Yeah, and we know
you guys ball till you fall when you go on vacation.
But what we want to know is how do you
