Not all people who adopt from Kaz have typical flexible schedules. I am a project manager so time away from work will be very difficult as my projects will not end. There is no "off season" for me- all times of the year are the same. I talked to my workplace when I first started and told them what I would be doing and how long I would be gone. I have not traveled yet, but they have not made any plans to have someone fill in while I'm gone.
So basically, I will try to set things up as best as possible, take my first trip, come back to a mess, about the time I get it cleaned up, travel again, and repeat the clean up when I get back. It won't be pretty, I only get vacation time so I will be off for about a month unpaid(ouch), but this is where I am placing my priority in my life. If it hurts my career too much when I get back, in a year or so, I will change jobs. Hopefully, it won't hurt too much long term. The way many people do it is just to decide this is the priority and be realistic about the possible consequences and then decide if it is something you can do.
