How do you say that Mama's going to be away?

Next week I have a great opportunity with my workplace to go to Montreal and attend a retreat giving by L'Arche Canada. I am really looking forward to going away and be able to spend time reflecting. I am however not looking forward to leaving the kids behind. Of course they will be in the very capable hands of their father, so I know they will be fine. Six day, though, is a long time for a Mama to be away from her babes and vice versa.
How do I prepare the kids for the fact that, yes Mama is going away, but that Mama will be back. Is it possible to prepare wee ones???
