No problem because on vacation schedules are flexible, not based on when the school bus comes, or whatever.
I recall pretty much the same thing, though I believe Maine did pass a resolution about staying one DST or switching to the Atlantic Time Zone under the conditions that both New Hampshire and Massachusetts do likewise. I think it's time that we revisit that idea.
