Welcome to Flyertalk.
First, its more important to
not take on more than you can handle than it is to go pedal to the metal. The old timers often say "this is a marathon, not a sprint".
If you are going to be out of the country for much of the time, I think going slowly is a wise and prudent choice, as it will be more difficult to deal with any little hitches that come along if you are not in the USA.
