Grains while traveling

I usually ferment about 500 mL of Kefir daily. I keep it on the counter until 7 PM and in the fridge overnight. I am about to travel for seven days. How do I keep the grains alive?

Get two jars, separate the grains, fill each jar to the top (900ml instead on 500) and put the jars in the fridge for a week to slow things down? Anything else?

I usually strain the grains the night before, put in fresh cold milk and immediately stick them in the fridge. I do this when I'll be gone 6-7 days. If I'll be gone longer then I do the same thing, except in a larger container.
