Unless there is a compelling need for you to resign when you boss is on vacation, please wait until your boss is back from vacation. No boss wants to lose someone on their team while on vacation. You quitting then can hurt your boss in ways you don't intend and burn bridges with her (or him).
10 things you should never say when leaving your job Don't bash your employer. Don't apologise. Don't give away too much. Don't make any promises. Don't sign anything. Don't tell them who knew. Don't say that you'll do an exit interview. Don't tell them how long you've been looking.
Yes, you can call in sick during your two-week notice period. However, it's important to consider a few factors: Company Policy: Check your company's sick leave policy to ensure you follow proper procedures for notifying your employer. Professionalism: If you're genuinely unwell, it's acceptable to take sick leave.
Notice Period: If you are planning to quit, it's common to give notice (usually two weeks). You should communicate with your employer about your intention to use vacation days during this period. Approval: Often, taking vacation days before quitting requires approval from your supervisor.

Again, this is just a resignation letter example.
If your boss is on vacation, you can give your resignation to their boss, or to HR if you have it. It's true that your boss won't be able to do anything to plan for the transition while they're out, but that's just how it goes sometimes.
Quit after the vacation. It is just safer for you that way just in case something happens while you are gone. You never know what might happen and it would be better for you to be officially employed.
