This isn't really what people say generally, It's just slang in the young generation.

But When someone say you went M.I.A, means you left for a while, no one knew where you were.

They not saying you went to MIAMI FL, just using the initials.

Younger generation? Guess again! MIA represents the military term Missing In Action. It was one of the feared notifications received regarding servicemen. It was common in World War 2, Korean and Viet Nam. Today the acronym represents someone being away from a certain venue, or area, or internet site for a while, due to vacation, taking a break or "OBE" Overcome By Events.
