Cedric settled all the relevant paperwork he had before he left...
He made sure that the process was clean so that it wouldn't come back and bite him in the ass. After all, this was the Border Patrol Office; it's easy to enter but hard to leave, even for a mere vacation. And even though Cedric's authority, in some ways, surpasses even that of the chancellors and the paragons, his status isn't really official, so he needs to go through the proper process so that there won't be any complications in the future.
Aside from that, Cedric also made sure that everything will be fine even without his presence. He drafted work that will occupy his team for years in a single sitting; he also left them enough instructions to refer to so that they won't disturb his vacation.
With all of this settled, Cedric was ready to leave.
