lol are YOU serious scott ?
the advent of mobile telephony has made my vacations the best ;-)
all you need is a GSM provider. FIDO or Roger's GSM, so that you can have 2 numbers (i.e. 2 SIM cards) One business, and one vacation. Business you never ever use when on vacation
The vacation one only family knows ;-)
Thats what I do, keep in contact with family and friends with my "vacation" SIM, and use my regular one when I work hehe... no bugging phone calls from work
The technology is not bad, its just how you use it
GSM providers in the states are VoiceStream, AT&T (select areas, but expandy very fast), and Cingular (about 50% GSM and expanding fast to it).
