Ok, so I'm standing in Goodwill this afternoon going through different versions of Life (people probably thought I was nuts). The first box opened had 2 "vacations". When I opened the second box, a newer version, there were none. I compared boards and the one square on the older version said "Tropical Vacation", but this new version just said "Buy a cruise online".

Therefore, I don't believe it's possible to give a correct answer to this question because the answer is dependent upon the version of the game you are looking at. I would beg the CyberGods give me an "exemption" from this question.
