Is America too stressed out? The answer is a resounding yes, but new research says a vacation provides hope for frazzled folks if they will only take the time to do it.

According to a survey of more than 1,400 travelers conducted by Marriott Caribbean & Mexico Resorts in conjunction with April’s National Stress Awareness Month, an overwhelming majority of Americans view a vacation as the antidote to reduce their work life stress, but many of them are not utilizing all of their available days.

The survey found that 72% of respondents said they plan a vacation to specifically de-stress and forget the daily grind, with the majority citing tension in the workplace ahead of concerns about finances as the greatest source of daily pressure. Yet one third of respondents admitted they did not utilize all of their available vacation time.

Still, according to the survey, vacation provides an invaluable way to reconnect with loved ones…or maybe even a dream celebrity. Respondents said spending more intimate time with their partner was the number one activity they do more of during vacation than in their everyday lives, followed by eating and reading. Just for fun, the question was posed asking with what celebrity they would most want to relax during vacation and Academy Award winner Halle Berry topped the list ahead of Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway and Denzel Washington.
