... Especially while on vacation... Isn't just for the boss.
It's also for those working for you to be able to step up, and even more importantly, understand what you do, day in, day out.
A recent vacation by my boss helped me understand that.
It helps you understand what your boss needs, what pressures are driving them, and the bigger picture. So it's not just to allow the person taking time off to do so, it's actually an opportunity for others to learn.
Do it.
