Vacation in two weeks

I'll be starting my 5's on Friday and will get four of the six workouts in before leaving on vacation for a week. There will be no opportunity to lift while gone. When I get back, should I just pick up where I left off, SD, or what?

Liking HST so far. No issues other than gaining 10lb after starting creatine and not being strict enough with the diet.
 
I would get rid of the first two workouts of the 5s, just do the last four workouts of the 5s so you can max out before you leave for vacation. Then make sure you eat plenty the first few days of vacation, enjoy the rest as an SD and then start a new cycle when you get back.

The only downside is that you will not be able to test for new maxes. You can either add a little to each max or you can just repeat the cycle and when you get to your 5 RM day, add in another week or several more weeks to push beyond your old 5 RMs until you find new 5 RMs.
