A vacation or holiday is a specific trip or journey,
usually for the purpose of recreation or tourism. People often take a vacation
during specific holiday observances, or for specific festivals or celebrations.
Vacations are often spent with friends or family. A person may take a longer break from work, such as
a sabbatical, gap year, or career break. The concept of taking a vacation is a recent
invention, and has developed through the last two centuries.
