Study Abroad or Vacation?

As I searched Twitter for the daily "Study Abroad Tweet of the Day" that I post to IHEC Blog's Facebook page I came across the following tweet:

 "I LEAVE FOR COSTA RICA TODAY. SEE YOU IN 10TH DAYS! #PLANES #NERVOUS #ANXIOUS #STUDYABROAD #VACATION"

Based on the words I assume that this person is going on a "study abroad" program for 10 days and in her tweet she includes both #studyabroad and #vacation.

What are your thoughts on this?  Are 10 days in Costa Rica where one earns academic credit considered study abroad or a vacation?

I've posted about short-term study abroad before:

Study abroad related tweet of the day: "A two week study abroad can barely be considered an international experience in a university program..." [interesting that my first study abroad tweet of the day touched on this exact topic]

The Study Abroad Credential

How short can a study abroad program be?
