Sometimes a friend vacation is needed when a good friend starts to get on your nerves. Take a break and come back to a refreshed relationship. Other times your friend may take a vacation from you because they have entered into a romantic relationship and spend less time with you and more with their significant other. The most convenient use of the term "friend vacation" can be used to stop contact with someone who your just not that into but they seem very interested in you. Just let them know that you'll still be in contact but your taking a friend vacation from them to focus on something important like work, or school. Hopefully by the time you get back from vacation they have found someone else to pursue and you can remain in the friend zone right where you want to be.

This is what occurs when your overbearing, micro-managing boss is not in the office for the day and you finally have a chance to relax and enjoy your day and co-workers. Usually, little or no actual work is accomplished during this time, so you are on a kind of vacation even though you are at work.
Jim, why is everyone smiling and laughing over here today? What happened?
Nothing. We're all just on a workstation vacation because Janet is out for the day at a conference.

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.
