If you are traveling on vacation, but you happen to do some unrelated and incidental SLAC work while abroad (i.e. checking work email, calling into SLAC for a short phone conference, or working on some work notes), that doesn't qualify as official SLAC travel. In this case, you do not need to report your foreign vacation.
