If you read a lot of press releases, you know all about "staycations" and "mancations" (oh, where is the Man Show when we need it?).

The problem with these neologisms ("Ooh," as one of my college professors used to say, "that was a big word.") is that they're ugly. They don't fit smoothly; it's like hitching a wagon to a hippo.

There are a lot of good words already in existence that we could just change the meaning of to suit our holiday purposes:

unification - family reunion cruise
beautification - travels with a super model
altarcation - trip to Vegas to get married (Yea, I know, I changed a letter. And I'm going to do it again.)
bocation - taking time off for botox treatments
ramification - spending quality time with male sheep
intoxication - going to an inexpensive, usually Eastern European city and getting drunk (chiefly British)
desiccation - time spent in rehab
indication - traveling to hear indie bands
mastication - gourmet tour
lubrication - wine tour
verification - the age-old search for truth
