Impress the Boss While on Vacation?

Dear Experts, In two weeks, I'm taking my first week-long vacation since starting my current job a year ago. Do you have any tips for impressing my boss while I'm on vacation? There is so much competition in my workplace right now. How can I stay in my boss's mind even when I'm 3,000 miles away?
