Not 100% sure what you are asking, but seems like you are considering a carryover trip in Feb that would push credit into March (a month in which you have vacation scheduled).
Assuming this is the scenario....
The only consideration is whether you plan to bid a line the month you have vacation (many bid reserve in vacation and training months due to the better overall deal unless you plan on working your arse off). If you plan on bidding reserve, all the work in March (and credit with the trip) will go towards your March reserve guarantee and not count for much.
If you plan on bidding a line during vacation month, well when PBS goes to build you a line in March, it will give you credit for your vacation, and carryover trip credit when trying to build you a line in the LCW.
