Should I still adopt a puppy if I have to take a weekend trip 2 months later.

My Family and I have been thinking about getting a puppy this summer for a while now. I found a breeder who will be having puppies soon. However we have two trips we will be going on this year and I really don't want to do anything that's detrimental to a puppy's development.
Unless I say no and disappoint a really close friend potentially jeopardizing our friendship. I will be attending a wedding in Mexico when the dog is just under four months olds. The breeder I will be getting my dog from has offered to taking on back during that time but I feel really apprehensive about leaving Young puppy, especially during this critical socialization stage. I also have the option to bring the dog because they're staying at a Airbnb in Rosarito that allows pets. I live in Northern California but I still feel like that's going to be a long trip for the dog and not sure if that's a good idea either.
We also planned I'm doing a Disneyland trip around December by then the puppy would be a little older but I still wasn't sure how I felt about that. The breeder would take the puppy or I could get a sitter.
I've Loved any thoughts or advice? I really like this breeder and want a purchase a dog from them but I am wondering maybe I should wait and see if I can find one that will be having puppies after our vacations?
