Hi Kim! It's great to hear that your starter is moving along. Placing it in the fridge for several days at this point (while not ideal) won't do any harm. It may simply prolong the process of your starter becoming nice and ripe. When you return, just start the twice a day feedings at room temperature again and continue on until you notice it doubling or tripling within 3-6 hours after feeding.
