 In this case On is used because it is a temporary situation.

Hi Mary-Butterfly
 
"on vacation" is correct.
 
 

�          Common mistakes with in/on/at

  

o   Not used with vacations, use �over� or �during� for specific vacations, but simply �on� for vacation alone.

�  (Wrong) In summer vacation, I had a part time job.

�  (Right) During summer vacation, I had a part time job.

�  (Right) Over summer vacation, I had a part time job.

�  (Wrong) I had a good time in vacation.

�  (Right) I had a good time on vacation

 
Cheers --- Jayho

If you use "in", then you can say
 
"I �m in the middle of my vacation."
