I think your feelings towards coding on vacation will, and probably should, change depending on your situation.
Are you excited and itching to code? Then code!
Does it seem more out of work pressure, stress, and anxiety of not coding? Then work on finding time away from the screen. It doesn't seem like this is how you were feeling.
Inadvertently on this vacation, I isolated myself from my friends and family.
I'd advise you to get in the habit of being very communicative about your planned activities, and set expectations. If you are excited about coding, make sure people know you're genuinely having a good time with it so they don't worry about you.
I personally do try to get away from coding a bit, because I have been coding too much for too many years and time away is good for me. I used to spend all my vacation time coding and I loved it!
I typically do more explicit reading about code while I'm on vacation. Loading up a book on a Kindle is a good way to keep learning if that's what's most interesting to you at the time while eliminating some stigma you get from your friends and family, because reading a book on vacation is non-controversial.
Self-awareness is key. Pay attention to your mental health and do what's good for you. Remember, it's a marathon not a sprint.
