Change active household during vacation
Naiad:
Any mods in there? Patched up?
Also, have you tried playing the backup save and not sending the Sim on vacation (see if it saves in the home 'hood after playing the game a bit without going on vacation), to see if the problem is the home 'hood or the vacation one? Also, have you tried changing the vacation destination?
You said you tried Twinbrook, and you could save. Does the error still appear when repeating the error-causing process with a Twinbrook Sim? Because if it doesn't, it's very probable that your save is corrupt.
gilmar:
I've got CC, objects, paintings, cars and a no censor file. Normally I just install an expansion or stuff pack, it updates automatically. I don't usually download and install a patch because they normally cause me problems. I did play the back up save but unfortunately my Sim is already in vacation and I don't have a back up file before that. So far I've not send any of my Twinbrook Sims to vacation, I'll try that.

I doubt no censor causes this, but nonetheless, perhaps trying to save without any CC should be given a shot anyway. Who knows? Before that, have you tried simply deleting your cache? Also, you never mentioned what happens if you allow the vacation to finish instead of using the return home option.
PC specs? This might simply be a problem of too little RAM.
About patches causing problems, what EPs/SPs do you have? I'm thinking that if it's only base + 1/2 addons, it might be worth it to just backup MyDoc Sims 3 files, and install the patch, since reinstalling if all goes boom might not take very long. Before that, have you tried simply deleting your cache?

I've tried deleting the caches. It didn't work.
I'm running a Windows XP 32 bit on a MSI Mobo with an Intel R Pentium D (R) 3 Ghz processor with 3G of RAM and a Palit GeForce GT 440 1024MB DD3.
I'm trying to finish the vacation at the moment. I'll also try playing without CC.
I'm running all the expansion and stuff packs.
Edit : It's difficult and frustrating to play as it tends to hang after about 30min- 1hr of Sim minute and then continue to run. Sometimes it runs pretty smoothly and most of the time it hangs periodically.
Naiad:
If you're running everything I'd suggest trying a RAM upgrade and then making TS3 LAA. Perhaps someone has a RAM stick or two you could borrow to test this out first? TS3 is knows to be rather memory consuming. I'd switch to 64bit too if I were you, but that would mean reinstalling everything you have installed on your PC. Otherwise, what you have there is above the minimum requirements, I think that processor is dual core, right? Have you tried decrapifying (saves, CC except mods)? The compressorizer might help with that if you're not familiar with the process, though it's all just drag and drop.. Backup everything first though, in case your game doesn't like that.
In answer to the edit part, my game does that too, I don't know why and resetworld (AM command I think) doesn't work. Only, I have 6gb of RAM, and am only running 4 EPs, so I don't think it's lack of memory. It's not my save either, unless all my saves are corrupt, in which case I'll keep enduring this.
Edit: I just returned a Sim home from China, using the return home option, and a very strange thing happened: the Sim did not return to its home, but rather to a community lot located at the very edge of the map, and clicking on the 'go home' button next to the Sims's thumbnail had no effect. I had to return the Sim home manually, which I did, and the game recognized that the Sim was home (button thingy was gone). It also allowed me to save. Therefore: was your Sim home when you tried to save? And, did you try the Twinbrook Sim vacation?
