When you find yourself in a "use it or lose it" situation with this much notice, there only two satisfactory solutions: (1) use it, or (2) make your employer buy the time. It's not like they can claim it's your fault for not anticipating or attempting to schedule the time, not with 10 months notice. Don't let them threaten to hold against you taking time off for which you are owed.

At an absolute minimum, you're looking at 4-day weeks for most of the remainder of the year.

I don't want to leave things undone and only recently with the new hire been able to begin to catch up with all that is needful. This particular system will allow only so much time to be carried over from one year to the next and will not buy any of it back. I am plotting time off now for each month. Which of course means more time in the barrel making sure all is tidy prior to the planned departures.
