Doing the minimum requirements of one's job and putting in no more time, effort, or enthusiasm than absolutely necessary, but only for around two weeks because you've been working hard and you deserve it.
Brenda spent last month working overtime every day so for the next two weeks she's soft vacationing because she deserves it.

Or "castle in the air" hunting camp --- same diff. Refers to a much-hyped "back to nature" dwelling that turns out to be just a crude cramped tumble-down shack with no modern facilities.
Disgusted office-worker who was greatly in need of a little good ol'-fashioned R&R: That no-good shyster of a realtor gave me a glowing song-and-dance description of this backwoods cabin on the lake --- described it as a "castle in the air" vacation cottage, and claimed it had "electric lights, running water, and stained-glass windows". Turned out to merely be a shabby musty hovel hardly bigger than an outhouse, with absolutely no amenities whatsoever --- the "electric lights" turned out to be just a couple of small LED battery-lamps hanging from the ceiling (which I ended up having to buy fresh batteries for, by the way!), and the "running water" translated into merely a plastic bucket that you would pick up and "run" down to the lake, fill the pail with water (what am I --- Jack and Jill?!), and then "run" back up to the cabin again! And come to find out that the "stained glass" in the windows was nothing more than just the disgusting filmy MOLD-STAINS on the panes from the damp closed-up-for-months interior of the cabin! What a rip-off!

A physically and/or mentally demanding vacation that usually results in a new found respect for the people/place visited and a renewed sense of perspective on life. Derived from Vincent’s vacation to Mongolia in September 2011
Kiran: Vince, you look completely exhausted. Didn’t you just come back from vacation?
Vincent: Yeah totally dude, but it was a Mongolian vacation.

A period of time when Jordan (also known as Franky) goes away on vacation for a few short days. This individual spends his time away from home by shagging plenty of birds, clobbering a concerning amount of pints, and even the occasional visit to Aroma Joes.

"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."
"I've never seen Tom so happy! He's going to the Bahamas tomorrow. Look at that vacation face!"
