How can I teach myself to take a quality break?

I feel like I can't take a vacation without at least checking new papers, doing a bit of work, etc., without feeling guilty. I'm pretty burned out and dread when the breaks end even though I'm not even really "resting". 
Is the only way to take a break to go somewhere without internet connection?

If you can't get out of town, then at least have a block of days when you're electronically *away*--set up an OOO message, then don't turn on the computer, don't check email, etc. It might even help to act like you're travelling *to* your home area: look at tourism & travel sites, then find stuff in your area that you don't normally do to do instead of being home (where the strange temptation to work might kick in).
