How Long Can Pods Stay on Plant

[pa1966stang]

I have a trip planned this weekend and I will be out of town until Sunday night. I have a handful of pods that are just about at the perfect point to pick them but I won't have time to process before I leave tomorrow. 
 
I am wondering how long we can leave ripe pods on the plants before they start to rot and drop. I know with tomatoes that you have a very small window before the fruit goes bad. I feel like peppers are sturdier. 
 
Do you think it is okay to let freshly turned pods on the plant for 3-4 days until I get home?

Wow. Thanks for the quick responses. You guys are on top of it 
 
I guess I am a little finicky after growing cucumbers, squash, and tomatoes for so long. Those guys need to be picked at the right time or you end up with seeded, tough, or rotten fruit!

If you choose to leave the peppers on the plants let us know how it turns out!
