Do you want to be in sales or IT? That seems to be the biggest difference here. The longer you stay in sales, the harder it will be to go back to IT; no one wants someone that used to be in IT, but spent the past few years doing sales.
I would do the traveling at least for a year or so. The experiences you get from that aren't calculable, and they'll be with you for a lifetime.
Now, some honesty:
If you've put in the investment of time and money to get 15 certifications (?) and you're doing sales, you need to reconsider your career path. It sounds like you're resistant to change, and prefer taking the easier path (based on your ability to come in whenever). You might make $100k at your current place if you can make some gigantic sales, but you will make $100k with almost absolute certainty if you excel in the IT world. It takes work though, and that includes paying a lot of dues that you're not going to be able to do while you're in sales.
imo.
