vacationing

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'taking a break' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are present participle verbs, I can't understand how they can define each other.

'possibly avionic tang' is the wordplay.
'possibly' is an anagram indicator.
'avionic'+'tang'='avionictang'
'avionictang' anagrammed gives 'VACATIONING'.

'with' is the link.
