Careful there thing! The Americans actually speak a more perfect form of English than we British do! British English has been bastardised by much European influence!
Not surprising really being as British is a European language...Britain being a European country and all that...
My Dad God rest him used to make me laugh; he used to say 'We're off to Europe for a holiday.'
So your going from Europe to Europe then are you Dad? Bit like living in Idaho and saying you're going to America for a holiday...
