What Would You Do?

I have two online etsy stores....myothershop and fourdogday. I don't get a lot of sales, probably one every week or two if I'm lucky. I will be leaving on vacation soon and I am debating what to do with my shops. I have two options:

I can put them on "vacation" which means that none of my items show up in the searches or anywhere else. There would just be an announcement saying we are closed until whatever date I return and take them off vacation mode.

I can leave my shops open with an announcement saying that I am on vacation and will ship out any orders placed "today" on this date. My items will show up in the searches as normal. I will have computer access and could check my shop every couple of days for sales and then e-mail the buyer to let them know exactly when their item will be shipped.

I'm really torn. I know most people will say to put them on vacation and just go enjoy my vacation, but I work hard to stay somewhat visible on etsy and to be totally "invisible" for that long bothers me.

I've seen it done both ways....

What would you do?
