Can you really escape on holiday as a freelancer?

The reason we become freelancers is to be our own boss, to set our own hours and have the flexibility we crave. This makes it sound almost bohemian. But as much as freelancing gives you a sense of freedom from the shackles of a corporate office, it throws up issues when you decide that you need a complete break. Well, it would if you are able to relax and switch off. The last thing you want are clients contacting you all hours and, god forbid, interrupting that mojito on the beach!
