For the one man band, it's very difficult to not check his e-mail on a regualar basis even on vacation. In my personnal case, I will need to handle customer support by e-mail, even if I should not get many of them, I will need to answer within 24 or 48 hours depending how critical is the problem. I will really need to stay on top of things, outsourcing is not an option right now ...

Could you create and send an FAQ email out to your customers letting them know you're going to be gone and answers to most common questions? ...just a thought!

As a big advocate of taking vacations in places with limited email/Internet capabilities, I have learned to train my clients about the fact that they will not be able to contact me while I may be on vacation for a month, a few weeks, or just a few days at a time. - J.
