The ear to ear smile one has at work in the days leading up to vacation
"Even though I have a lot to do to work my way out the door for vacation, I have a serious case of vacation face."
"I've never seen Tom so happy! He's going to the Bahamas tomorrow. Look at that vacation face!"
Did too many drugs this weekend.
Took a little trip without leaving the farm. I was high on vacation.
When you lose contact with a close friend for an extended amount of time from a week +.
Sometimes a friend vacation is needed when a good friend starts to get on your nerves. Take a break and come back to a refreshed relationship. Other times your friend may take a vacation from you because they have entered into a romantic relationship and spend less time with you and more with their significant other. The most convenient use of the term "friend vacation" can be used to stop contact with someone who your just not that into but they seem very interested in you. Just let them know that you'll still be in contact but your taking a friend vacation from them to focus on something important like work, or school. Hopefully by the time you get back from vacation they have found someone else to pursue and you can remain in the friend zone right where you want to be.
This is what occurs when your overbearing, micro-managing boss is not in the office for the day and you finally have a chance to relax and enjoy your day and co-workers. Usually, little or no actual work is accomplished during this time, so you are on a kind of vacation even though you are at work.
Jim, why is everyone smiling and laughing over here today? What happened?

A vacation in which you do not travel anywhere at all. Basically just spend a few days in bed.
Man this shit at work is killing me I'm going to take a shelter-in-place vacation.
Doing the minimum requirements of one's job and putting in no more time, effort, or enthusiasm than absolutely necessary, but only for around two weeks because you've been working hard and you deserve it.
Brenda spent last month working overtime every day so for the next two weeks she's soft vacationing because she deserves it.
