Oblication

Vacation time used out of obligation.

Attending my cousin's wedding was an oblication not a vacation.

Oblication

A "vacation" that isn't really a vacation. You have no choice. You work the whole time but when you get back to your job, everyone asks how your vacation was.

I went on a 5 day oblication to Jamie's wedding in Aruba. I was at her beck and call 24/7.

Vacation time that is spent with family or friends as an obligation.

Instead of taking a nice vacation to a warm beach destination we took an oblication and spent it with family. Yay!

oblication

A vacation that also fulfills other obligations, usually those dealing with family or work.

I am taking my kids on an oblication to Miami where I have a conference to attend.

We are spending our oblication at my parents place so that they can see their grandkids.

oblication

An out-of-town trip that looks like a vacation, but is really done to fulfill an obligation.

We're taking our annual oblication to our in-law's cabin in the woods.
