Trees need the same care before, during and after the vacation.
Trees with less foliage demends less watering, so if appropriate timing, prune or defoliate if needed to do anyway. Do not prune just for the sake of vaccation.
Trees kept cold and shady demands a lot less watering as well. So I prefer to to go on vaccation in winter when less care is required. The trees can be left alone for up to a month. If I go in summer it is maximum 4 days and I always have someone trustable watering daily.

There are a lot of horror stories containing words bonsai and vacation. You may have trouble finding someone who will be able to guarantee every single day. Maybe find a 14 year old and make arrangements with parents for transportation, etc. That gets an adult in the loop.
