About the best thing you can do with the LR is to make sure there is a water flow over it while your away this will help it stay cured and if not cured it will help the curing process and when you return should be ready to use, there is no need to feed the LR as it will take care of itself all you will be doing is making the water quality worse as there will be no filter or skimmer going which will reduce the quality of the LR.
When I set my tank up I left the LR in the tank with 4 hermits for best part of 2 months with very little lighting, when I got Back it was straight down to business, the only thing you may want to be careful of when you get back is phosphate as it will hit with a vengence as most people will tell you when they set up thier marine set up, plus its always a good idea to put something in to keep it to a minimum to avoid algae from the word go as its almostg unavoidable.
Other than that sounds like you have a good plan
