Él pudo irse de vacaciones

Hi,

In the above sentence could 'ir' replace 'irse'? If not, why not?

What is the meaning of 'irse' if not 'to go'? And, when would it be used?

Thank you.

Colin

Another Option

Another common idiom is "no ver la hora (de)"

¡No veo la hora! - I can't wait!

No veo la hora de volver a casa. - I can't wait to return home.
