This matches my definition as well. Vacation means that the normal rules of interaction and required routines are suspended, except by my choice. (Pets get to demand time, because I love them and want them fed.) I have not had proper vacation by this definition for a long time until last weekend. It becomes difficult to explain to Sig. Other that no, just because we go somewhere, it is not a vacation for me because pets and because lack of things I want to do.
Perversely, work trips sometimes feel more vacation-y than vacations.
