Places visited on vacation or between vacations (7)
I believe the answer is:
resorts
'places visited on vacation' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'or between vacations' is the wordplay.
'between' indicates putting letters inside.
'vacations' becomes 'rests' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'or' placed into 'rests' is 'RESORTS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for resorts that I've seen before include "Blackpool and Brighton, say" , "Brings into play: getaway spots" , "Uses" , "Haunts" , "Holiday towns" .)
