Yeah, don’t be a baby.
Yes but why can’t you tell them?
Even if you’re fully remote, it’s generally not a good idea to leave without telling them (client meeting, urgent deliverables, etc). It would be way more responsible to let them know and make sure everything’s good.
Your IT department knows where your computer is whenever it’s connected to the internet. If you log in from a different country without them knowing, it will likely create a security alert.
As someone else mentioned, your work-owned laptop will know where you are. There are some clients I've worked on that will not allow access to their VPN or info outside of Canada (mostly banks).
Short term (1 week etc) accommodation should be ok. I’ve had people on my team request this and we just make it happen without anything HR official.
Longer than that and it gets tricky.
Also, I’d expect you to be available at normal (local) working hours regardless of time zone.
