Vacaciones...

Mi amiga está una profesora en Uruguay. Ahora ella tiene vacaciones por el verano. ¿Comó se dice "enjoy the rest of your vacation"? ¿Esta es: "disfruta el resto de la vacación"? ¿Es correcto?

Also you would can use Disfruta de tus vaciones, I tell you this because the sentence Disfruta el resto de las vacaciones, it does not very used on Mexico, then I think that the best chose to say the text is Disfruta de tus vacaciones.

Thanks, Luis. I'll keep that in mind. I was thinking "tus vacaciones", but that sounded so transliterated that I thought it was wrong. My friend in Uruguay is an English teacher, so she'll understand my sentence (which was already sent now) even if it is a bit confusing.

I agree that this would be a better choice.
