Vacation: A Clarified Definition

We recently returned from a "vacation." Actually, it was a trip to a far away place to celebrate a graduation. We stayed in a resort. There was a bit of time to play. It was not, however, a vacation.

I posit a clarification to the definition of vacation. A vacation cannot include anything mandatory, however "fun." If there is any expectation or obligation, that day, at least, cannot be counted as a vacation day.

Maybe it is too much to ask, but someday I'd like to do nothing significant. Let me rise, eat, play, nap, eat, and sleep.
