Is it okay to quit your job while on vacation?

Is it ever okay to quit your job while on vacation and never go back to the office?

I have much more than two weeks worth of vacation/PTO accumulated. Would it be okay to give notice while on vacation while still giving them two weeks notice?

The advantages I can think of to do so:
  • Take advantage of the employer subsidized premium for your insurance benefits.
  • Don't have to tell them face to face that you are quitting your job.
  • Don't have to deal with the awkwardness of being/working in the office with everyone knowing you are going to be gone soon.
