Surely there are regional preferences, but GuitarWarrio's suggestion is the only one that sounds natural to my ears (I'm from Spain) - lazarus1907, Jun 24, 2011
I hear it very often when talking to my Spanish friends. Thank you very much, Lazarus :) - GuitarWarrior, Jun 24, 2011

Salgo pero volveré pronto.-I am going out but I will come back/be back soon.

Salgo pero vuelvo pronto.-Basically the same meaning as the first.

In Spanish you cannot really say I will not be long-those sentences are what I would say.
