Vacation time is something you can set yourself. When you're on your Online Chess page, you'll see a "Settings" link on the right side under the "Play Chess" section. Or, use this link:
http://www.chess.com/home/echess_settings.html
Scroll down to where it says "Vacation", and check the box where it says "PAUSE MY GAMES!". Then, be sure to press the "Save Preferences" button at the bottom of the page to activate your changes.
