The Write Idea 
While [hols] as a short form of [holidays] was new to me, the haiku is self-explanatory and evocative. The sense of truncation and the near-rhyme with [gulls] help make [hols] better than [holidays] here; it’s not just the syllable count.
Thank you. Echoing gulls and now gone hols did seem compatible. Glad you like it.
Poor thing! 😦
Fear not. She got ahead and opened a small ice cream parlour, overlooking the waves. 🍨🍦🍧
Much better ending. Thank you.
You’re welcome.
