The best way to sort this matter out, is if at anytime during your vacation, you are requested to react to a work related matter, then your entire holiday is reset to the beginning from the point when you finish responding.
Any voters on that one ?

Not in my lfe. Taking regular hard earned time off a no-brainer and that remains crystal clear.

In many countries, when you take an extended break, a suitably qualified deputy or junior fills in for you, is granted similar approval and supervisory powers to you, but not extending to strategic decisions. It gives them good experience of being in a senior position, albeit for a short-time, and assists them when it is their turn to seek for a senior position. There is no fear of them taking over your job, or you losing it.

Work hard play hard, even if its not the norm now, nothing's stopping you from changing.

A day off is a private relaxation.
Never ever pick up, text, call back or any work related on your day off where you have already set your mind off to relax mood.
