Do you mean Windows XP? That is not called Expedia. It's just XP. Short for "Experience".

Or do you mean Windows Vista perhaps?
If so, as said, just copy the files from the PC onto the USB stick through Windows Explorer like normal. Make sure it's formatted as FAT32 or exFat.
Then just plug the USB drive into the Mac Click the Finder icon
in the Dock to open a Finder window and copy the files from the USB drive to the Mac.

Expedia is a website for buying plane tickets, not an operating system to my knowledge? Can you clarify what you mean by "running Expedia"?
With that said, you should be able to simply drag and drop files to a usb drive connected to the Expedia PC and then once that is done, connect it to the Mac and drag the files onto the Mac though finder.
What exactly is the issue?
Thanks for your response Phil. When I said OLD I meant it. Expedia was a version of the Windows operating system before they started using numbers. I am trying to salvage some old data without having the PC on the internet which precludes using such things as air drop or a migration app. Trying to use a SanDisk Cruzer usb drive to make the transition from PC usb write to iMac usb read.
Your Auto Spelling Correction system seems to mix up Expedia MS Windows XP
It was released to manufacturing on August 24, 2001, and later to retail on October 25, 2001.
For the full history of MS Operating Systems from oldest to newest

Again helpful Phil. As you can tell I know enough to be dangerous.
You are correct, it is XP. However auto spell is not the problem, I am.
