Vacaciones
I thought vacaciones only came in plural. Can anyone give examples of singular use?

You are right, the word Vacaciones is in singular way, I never have heard the use of the word Vacacion on my country, but I feel that the use of the word Vacacion sound very strange and I don't find sence in some sentence, then I think the unit way to use the word is as Vacaciones, only such the word cans be used.
Today I'm going to vacations to Merida. Hoy voy de vacaciones a Merida My attempt with the use of Vacacion although sound very weir. Hoy voy de vacacion a Merida, This sentence, I feel that is bad in itself build.

Vacación is readily found in any Spanish dictionary, in its singular form. It is rarely used in the singular form (some people would say that it never appears in its singular form), but it is used. Here are just some examples from the Internet.

Yes, I see it, but on my country it's rarely used for the people, you know Spain and Mexico both aren't just like.
The I mean, the Spain's People, and the Mexican's People, they don't speak just like.

Yes, as Rusty said, it's rare, but the word vacación is occasionally used in the singular.
