Vacatons are rare as are days off.  The Smart Phone and Laptop are constant companions.  Thus is the life of a one person team.

I'm a broker. That makes me responsible to many buyers and sellers on any given day. I took my phone and laptop to the hospital last time I had surgery. That being said, I do get the occassional vacation where my agents don't call because nothing goes wrong.  I tend to take them in winter. I did take a long beach weekend this summer though. It was great.

Everyday is a vacation for me with no off switch. My phone goes where I go and I am disconnected until I am connected. I control the circumstances and not the other way around...so far, so good

I work when I am on vacation.  I do take calls and check on my emails.  But I usually take calls firt thing in the morning and the rest of the day I can enjoy my vacation.

Yes, and I like to announce that I'm going on vacation, because that's when 10 people suddenly want to list their homes and/or make an offer on a property. I never fully shut off, but I do have a strong team, including a closing coordinator, to back me up so I can breathe a bit when I'm on vacation.

I bring my phone and iPad with me, but I do tell people I'll be away.  Telling people considerably cuts down on calls, texts, etc.  

The communication I do get after people are aware I'm on vacation tends to be fairly important.  I can address it and go back to relaxation.

I get still get plenty of time to mentally disconnect on vacation and occasionally when I'm not on vacation.

I don't take many, but when I go I will check my emails and calls from agents that are handling my business.

Long weekends seem to be the easiest right now.  Yes, I totally disconnect for at least one day.  Other days I will reply in evenings; or whenever convenient.  I advise people of my departure prior to leaving, so it is not a surprise that I won't be available.
