*acation

I had a hilarious conversation with K. last night in which I suggested we go through the alphabet and figure out *acation for every letter. K. is like the best sport in the whole world and has known me forever, so she not only did not go, what the hell is wrong with you, she came up with the best ideas.

Bake-ation: In which you stay home and make complicated baked goodies.
Cake-ation: The same, but specifically focused on decorating cakes
Daycation: Just one day off
E-cation: time off from your IRL so you can focus on your online life, whatever that might be
Fake-cation: what those people on YouTube do, where they engage in complicated YouTube and/or Instagram fakery to make it look like they went somewhere but they actually did not
Gay-cation: In which you go on a trip and have a same-sex romance. Could be with your same-sex partner, could be a fling.
Haycation: Farm stay vacation
I-cation: an independent trip of self-discovery
Jaycation: You take time off work to do your diversion program, like for an OUI or similar offense
K-cation: a Knowledge Vacation, so you take off to do a residency program for your online college degree
Laycation: your vacation primarily involves being in a hammock, but a beach towel is also fine, or, really anywhere that involves being horizontal
Maycation: Your vacation is in this month
Naycation: Horse riding vacation
Ocation: You go some place fancy, but it is for someone’s destination wedding, destination b-day party, etc.
Paycation: Traveling for work, but to someplace actually fun
QA-cation: Reviewing destinations, like for a travel blog
Ray-cation: Vacation primarily oriented to soaking up the rays
Staycation: vacay at home
T-cation: high tea is the high light of your trip. I am partial to a place in Victoria, BC and it is not the obvious one
U-cation: You have to move, but you cannot afford to hire movers, so you rent a U-haul and as you drive across country, you stop at roadside attracts such as largest ball of twine, caves, dinosaur exhibits
Vacation: Duh
Way-cation: Road trip!
X-cation: Either a cross country (cross continent) vacation or any concentrated time or trip devoted to transformation
Y-acation: a trip that YOU are very excited about, a Yay! Cation.
Z-cation: Time off to catch up on sleep — or visit some zoos.

I have forgotten a few, so will need to text her for reminders. I will update when I have them. Please, feel free to use these. I also may have to fix some because I think I misremembered a couple. Update: she remembered!
