Cecelia Rosewater's definitions
A vacation consisting of staying at a nearby hotel and enjoying all of its amenities instead traveling to a far off destination for a relaxing vacation. Similar to a “staycation” but instead of staying home, it’s a stay at a hotel. It’s a combination of two words: the English word “hotel” and the French word “vacance” (which means vacation in English: “HOCANCE”
“We quickly packed all our necessary items into a small suitcase, before setting off to enjoy our highly anticipated hocance.”
