working holidays I have decided that I'm on holidays. I have to work, it's true, but I don't want to wait to enjoy my holidays so I'm on holidays. I just have to go to my job few hours in the morning and that's all. Our lifes pass waiting. We wait for the weekend all the week and wait for the holidays the whole year. Hereinafter I don't want to wait anymore. I'm going to go to the beach in the afternoon, or to the swimming pool, or to the park... I'm going to bask, to ride a horse, to visit museums... From today I'm on holidays. Working holidays.

Staycation

I have decided that I'm on holiday. I have to work, it's true, but I don't want to wait to enjoy my holidays (I haven't changed this "holidays" from plural to singular as you may have more than one holiday planned) so I'm on staycation. I only have to work a few hours each morning and that's all.
Our lives pass us by while we wait. We wait for the weekend all the week long and we wait for our holidays (here again plural is ok as you could be talking about more than one holiday) the whole year. From now on I don't want to wait anymore. I'm going to go to the beach in the afternoon, or to the swimming pool, or to the park...
I'm going to bask in the sun (I like the phrase "bask in the sun" but another option is "sunbathe"), to ride a horse, to visit museums...
From today I'm on holiday. A staycation.

 

I changed the title because "working holiday" is a particular type of holiday that does involve working. http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/holidays/working-holidays/

 

Staycation is a relatively new word, but one that is in fairly common use nowadays.

working holidays

I have decided that I'm on holidays. I have to work,  it's true, but I don't want to wait to enjoy my holidays so I'm on holidays. I just have to go to my job for a few hours in the morning and that's all.


Our lifes pass while we are waiting. We wait for the weekend all the week and we wait for the holidays the whole year round .


Hereinafter From now on I don't won't want to wait anymore. I'm going to I'll go to the beach, tomorrow in the afternoon, or I'll go to the swimming pool, or to the park... ( usa el going to si es algo que tienes planeado, con hora, dia etc, pero si es un propósito y quizás lo hagas mañana o quizás pasado o el año que viene, usa el will,  en este caso como pones muchos ejemplos entiendo que no son acciones que tienes planeadas, por lo que te lo cambié por will)


I'm going I'll play basketball, to ride a horse, to visit museums...  (quito el to en este caso porque va el will)


From now / Starting today I'm on holidays. Working holidays.


Espero haberte ayudado. PD: usa Linguee, a mí me resulta muy útil.

Saludos!
