PCT and creatine hcl questions

[nwill6]

I have 5 more days left on halodrol. when im done im taking erase for pct. i also want to take creatine hcl to make sure i keep all of my gains. Should i start it right after i finish my cycle or start taking it at the very end of my cycle (right now)

and also do i have to run it continuosly? i going on vacation for christmas and i wont be lifting weights for 10 days- possibly some cardio/aerobics if possible though. do you recommend taking creatine hcl during this time, or will it benefit me more to just take it when im in the gym 5 days a week?
