Delimna ..need help from round repeaters!

So I am trying to figure out when to do my next round which will be short (23 instead of 40) and need help from those who have done mulitple rounds. Here is what SHOULD be my time line:

I started P4 Friday (8/19) so next round could start as early as 9/12 w/ P3 on 10/7. Here is my problems. I have two trips coming up, one on Sept 24-27th to my Sister's who just had rods put her in back Friday due to an injury and the other October 27th-31 to NYC w/ family for hubby's bday. Needless to say I don't really want to be on P2 for either of those trips, especially the Sept trip.

So, I was wondering since I seem to have stabilized well in P3/P4 so far, never above or below LDW by more than 1.6#, could I cut P4 short and start load 8/27 and be done a few days before my first trip and then will be well into P4 by end of October? I know protocol is 21 days in P3 and P4 and I would only have 8 days in P4 but if I'm am stabilized do you think it would mess me up?

Or option #2, I could load during or immediatly after my first trip and do a short round before the NYC trip. It might be pretty easy to load the last day of trip (traveling, airport food, etc) on 27th and 28th w/ first VLCD 29th, P3 on October 21 with a week of P3 before trip to NYC.

Thanks for any advice. If I think it will be really hard to do either of those options and stabilize again I may just wait until early November and try to lose a few more pounds with cleaning eating, a small bit of exercise and continuing to implement 4 Hr Body concepts.
