I agree. A vacation is to get away.

BTW if someone did die and they couldn't tell you right away what
would happen? They wouldn't still be dead when you got home?

Maybe it has something to do with the way they say 'death' all the
time but act like they consider it not to be real (after all, "life
after death" is a contradiction when you accept the reality of death).
