As someone who has dealt with binge eating in the past I have to second what Lisa said about identifying the triggers/thoughts/feelings and learn to cope with those things without bingeing. But I bet not having a proper diet break earlier in the game might have been another factor.
I would NOT do any kind of fast or "starve" day. that will most likely set you off for another binge. Personally, when I have done my diet breaks I don't feel bloated or really any different (or look any different) from when I am dieting. I think some of that is in your head. A proper diet break is not an "all out cheat" week.
I would just eat normally until your trip (either your previous diet levels or maintenece) and then go on vacation and do your diet break while on vacation and then for a few days after you get back so that you have a good full week of break. Just keep in mind that a break is not a binge.
