Jaunted

With such high stakes, writers everywhere are racking their brains for the next big vacation-related buzzword. A few have experienced moderate success, such as Christopher Elliott's December, 2008 introduction of naycation, and Gadling's yaycation the following month, but most, like mancation and spacation, have fallen flat. (They should at least rhyme, right?) So, in an effort to pick up where staycation eventually leaves off, we offer the travel writing industry a few new -cation words, in the spirit of the old Tim Kazurinsky Saturday Night Live skits. Note: some terms may have been used somewhere before.

Herds of donkeys might take a braycation. If you're a famous southwestern chef, go on Bobby Flaycation. Old school rap aficionados might enjoy a Dr. Drecation. If you can't be gone long, consider a daycation. If you like to visit structures built parallel to the bank of a waterway for use as a landing place, there's the quaycation. Love to eat soft-shell crabs? Book a Chesapeake Baycation. Itching to put your pitchfork to good use? Bundle to your heart's delight on haycation.

Okay, these are all terrible. But staycation can't last forever, and when it eventually disappears, which buzzword will take its place? The field is open. Please offer suggestions in the comments.
