When pedestrians cross to the middle of the road but then take a mental vacation, showing no signs or interest in crossing the rest of the way or any awareness of their surroundings, causing confusion for passing drivers/other pedestrians (could alternatively be, minor stroke - who would know?)
"What are you stopped for?"
"I was just gonna let this guy cross"
"Nah, not that guy, he's on an island vacation, he could be there a while"
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."

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.
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.
