Most people tried to answer according to the original question - for a vacation you can always just build in more walking and watch your calories - even if you substitute a beach walk for breakfast some of the time. It's a vacation for goodness sake.
These situational suggestions seemed to then be taken as if they were extended program recommendations, which I did not read them as at all.
I didn't read any one as saying "skip breakfast on all days in all situations for all time" - it was more if you are on vacation, short term, it is a simple way to control your calories - a "you can skip breakfast and eat brunch and dinner" sort of thing.
I didn't read any one as saying "walking is the best exercise ever for all situations" it was more like given the limited options available based on location & the injury it might be the best solution available. That is - it is a vacation, just walk around more and enjoy yourself and worry about 'cardio' when you get back.

That wasn't a short term skip breakfast thing. Someone said they never eat breakfast.
Also, someone said that walking is great cardio. We cleared that up earlier though.
