Can I go on this business trip and continue breastfeeding? And if so, should I?

DD is 10 months at the moment. I would really like to continue breastfeeding her until about 18 months, possibly a little longer. I work from home so am in a nice situation where I can take breaks to breastfeed her.
She will not take a bottle. She will now, however, take some milk from a sippy cup. I have managed to go away for the day for work several times now and she has managed ok on the milk from the cup.
I have to go on a business trip in March for three days. Is there any way to do this and continue breastfeeding? She will be 15 months old then, it's not the end of the world to have to give up then. Maybe it would be a good time to give up?
What do people think? Has anyone had a break like this and gone back to it?

I think by then you'll just be able to carry on where you left off after three days. Your boobs might get a sore though. You could take a pump.

I did this - I left a supply of frozen EBM (and resigned myself to the idea DD might need other milk too), took a pump and managed to find time to pump and discard twice a day whilst I was away. No problems whatsoever resuming on return.
