FYI "vaca" means cow in Costa Rica and many, many, many other places. I think you're going for "vacay."

Ironically the same way vacation is shortened to vacay, in Spanish vacaciones is shortened to vaca sometimes. Although it also means cow, context is used to differentiate the meanings.

Yes but in that case vaca and vacación both have the identical starting sound. I'm just saying, in English it's usually spelled "vacay," that's all.

No no you say "vacas" in plural. Nobody says vaca for vaccay in spanish. It has to be vacas. As in "necesito unas buenas vacas"
