Can I stop Accutane before vacation then restart when I get back?

dragonsoup
I'm going to Punta Cana in a month in a half, and I'm a bit worried about the sun and possible alcoholic drinks. I'll be gone for a total of 9 days, 7 of those spent in Punta Cana. I've been on Accutane Roche 40mg for 11 days so far(lips dry and cracked, skin less oily by the end of the day). I was wondering if it'd be okay to stop accutane for a total of 2 weeks? And if it'd be a bad idea to have alcohol beverages in 2 weeks?
