Sure, I’ve done my bit to contribute to this summer’s -cation craze. But even I think that this time, Forbes Traveler has gone too far. Golfcation? Really?

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black, Eva.
You and this whole trend jumped the shark with “barbecation.”
Golfcation is just as bad.
To further mix my metaphors, you’ve made your -cation bed, now you’ll have to sleep in it. At least until you can find a way to help us all end this -cation madness.

“You’ve made your -cation bed, now you’ll have to sleep in it.”
Would that be a bedcation, Jim? Or a sleepcation? (As opposed to an awake-ation?)
