Missing one day of kaffaarah fast due to traveling

Q: I broke a fast in Ramadhaan due to intercourse. I am making it up by fasting 60 days. I haven't finished it yet, with the menstrual cycles in between, I have only fasted 40 days so far. I have to go on a 1 day trip regarding one of my degree courses. I will travel from the morning, visit a site then travel back the same day during the day around or close to maghrib. Can I not fast this day and then continue towards my 60 day goal (reason: travel)? Or what is the ruling towards it?

A: You may leave it out, but you will have to recommence the 60 fasts.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
