In the end, yes, they are keeping two-lines titles.
The V-Jump leak reveals the full title of episode 2 to be something like (forgive the translation, someone better might give it a try): "DESTINATION: HOLIDAY AS PROMISED! VEGETA GOES ON A FAMILY TRIP?!"
Plot: Vegeta takes Trunks and Bulma on a trip! With that unexpected family activity, Bulma and Trunks are more than happy. But Vegeta can't help wondering about Goku, who keeps training?!
I now imagine Vegeta on a roller coaster and Trunks and Bulma are screaming "WOOOO" like everyone else and Vegeta's arms are just crossed
"It's not fair, I want to train like Kakarot too!"
Vegeta being a family man and family activities? It's about damn time.

But the fact that there are still people reading the series after all this time… All I can say is; “thank you.” Really, that’s all.

And that you also have IMMENSELY skewed and comically backwards priorities in what you think is most important and needed to make a good Dragon Ball story.

More of the plot:
"As for Goku, he's training on Kaio's planet. The x10 gravity there is ideal! Without any kind of consideration for Kaio being possibly bothered by this or not, Goku started to train. But what is that new way to train?!
Just leaked?! Doesn't V-Jump leaks in the third week of every month?!
I thought we already had covered the last one.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

That's because it isn't V-Jump, it's the Weekly Shonen Jump.
I sincerely doubt that's V-Jump. Said issue won't be out until the 21st. They're not going to exclusively promote an episode that aired over two weeks earlier. The page is clearly cropped off, and maybe they show a whole batch of episodes, but a leak of V-Jump this many weeks ahead of time is pretty unheard of.
Based on the color scheme, I'd say it's just another page from Weekly Shōnen Jump. Likely this coming Monday's 2015 #32 issue. Will look more into it.

It is indeed the Weekly Shonen Jump according to the French article! (and it's said right from the start in bold letters, I really went to fast on this one!)

Tarble in Vegeta's family trip! That would be awesome!
So what do you guys think it would be?:
Fair (we dont know if he actually took trunks to the fair)
Beach day. shirtless Vegeta? COUNT ME IN!
Camping trip
Visiting Tarble?
Check out Journey's End, a short story of Goku and Vegeta's final days. "Time is running out for the last two Saiyans"

For now, given the blue sky behind Vegeta that doesn't seem to be crowded with funfair stuff or city buildings, I would picture the family trip to be similar to what Goku, Gohan and Chichi did in the ten days before the Cell Game: meal around the lake.
But it's true that there is the idea of something that was promised in the title, so he could be holding up his promise to Trunks, making a link to the early Boo saga.

A trip to the beach was what first came to my mind, but if the trip is actually Vegeta's idea, I doubt that would be the destination he'd pick. But I could totally see him on the beach sporting his new blue shirt

Did you completely forget that Dragon ball was originally an adventure gag series? It started out like a slice of life series.

Those details may not mean anything anymore, since they are retelling.

I would love this one. Everything that connects to something done/said in the past is good.

That could be the case. I just thought from the screencap that Bulma was flying one of those regular vehicles from the series. But it could (and I hope?) it's a spaceship.

Yeah, an adventure gag series. That's not a slice of life comedy series. That's 2 different things. Also no Dragon Ball never started out as a slice of life series. Not at all. We were on an adventure for the 7 Dragon Balls which developed over the course of the Pilaf arc. A slice of life comedy series would be if we dicked around with Goku as he did random shit around Gohan's house for like 5 chapters. Dragon Ball is a Martial Arts Shonen series, not a slice of life gag series. It can have slice of life elements and moments of course, but they are not the main draw, nor focal point of the series.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!
Spoiler:
Doctor. wrote:I've explained before, I'll just paraphrase myself.
Power levels establish tension and drama. People who care about them (well, people who care about them in a narrative) don't care about the big numbers or the fancy explosions. If you have character A who's so much above character B, who's the main character, you're gonna be left wondering how in the hell character B, the character we're supposed to care and root for, is going to escape the situation or overcome the odds. It makes us emotionally invested.
If character B doesn't escape the situation in a believable way that's consistent with previous events, then that emotional investment is gone. It was pointless tension, pointless drama made just to suck in the viewer. It has no critical value whatsoever. The audience is left believing that the author can just create whatever scenarios he wants and what happens to the characters is decided by whatever the author wants to happen, regardless of the events that happened in the story. Which, in fairness, is what happens, but the audience wants to be fooled. The audience wants to know that the world they're following has rules. That the world they're invested in isn't going to bend to external factors that are irrelevant to them.
An author can do whatever he wants with the characters, that's not false. But the author should also have the responsibility to make sure it fits in cohesively with the other events in the narrative he has created.

I'm pretty sure it's one of their regular vehicles, the bigger one they usually take, in particular. I doubt they're going to space, visit Tarbles or anything, it seems to be just a holiday, as the title says.
I'll correct my previous posts right now!
