Help with potty training timing

Need help: need your advice on potty training timing.

My son right now is 2 years and 7 months. We’re traveling a ton in July for two weeks (DC → Denver → Sand Dunes → Durango → Dallas → back to DC), and then two weeks later we’re flying out west to see my sister. I go back to teaching on August 24, and he starts his new preschool on August 30 (he doesn’t have to be potty trained).

I’m trying to decide if I should start next weekend since it’s supposed to be rainy, so we’d have a good excuse to stay inside—and it would give him about two months to adjust before all the travel.

The challenge is he’s obsessed with being outside. If it’s nice out and we can’t go for a neighborhood walk (not just the backyard), he’ll definitely have a meltdown. I'm also worried if we do it now, traveling is going to throw him off. and I do it after he starts pre-school everything will be too much for him but also he will be 3 and a little more mature

Do you think I should try next weekend, or just wait until he’s about a month into preschool?
