As has been said, the term "going on holiday" would get some blank stares in the USA. For us "holidays" are a day or two off for Memorial Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, or the usual Xmas/Easter/etc. These are usually spent with family & friends, or a short weekend getaway camping or at the coast/beach or similar.

For "vacations", which are the longer leisure travels - Hawaii, Cancun & Playa Del Carmen, Vegas, Florida Keys, Bahamas, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Cabo, NYC, national parks like the Grand Canyon/Yosemite/Big Sur/etc, are probably the big ones.

There are many many smaller destinations on the continent that are fantastic too, but the above are probably the most popular. And contrary to the belief of some on here, there are plenty of average middle class Americans who do get around 4 weeks of paid time off every year.
