family vacation

Stupid piece of crap done by parents to waste time and energy, all under the guise of being educational or paying visits to family members you don't care about or even hate. These pieces of torture often happen when you have a break from school, most of the time during spring break, summer vacation, Thanksgiving, and even Christmas and New Year's.

When this happens, you often have no internet access, and if you do get internet, the Wi-Fi may end up being spotty at best. You also can't do the things you're into at the moment. They also force you to get up at an ungodly hour and force you to walk for 12-16 hours without any breaks in between. Some families do this for a large number of days to anger you immensely and make you want to run away from them.

Some of the most common examples of this include a trip to Disney World and even a European vacation (mostly for those living in North America).

I've been waiting to get out of school for some time. I can't wait to play some Minecraft with my friends...
(parents bust in, saying "We're leaving on a family vacation to Disney World! We're spending your entire break there!")
Shucks. Time to jump off from the castle tower...

in plant vacation

When the boss is out of the office and productivity completely stops. You're in the office, you're getting paid, but you sure aren't working!

"Hey, did you hear the boss took the rest of the day off?"
"Woo in plant vacation, baby!! I'm going to go watch Netflix in my office all day!"

"castle in the air" vacation cottage

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!
