Hello
Thanks for your query.
The depo would take a few days or a maybe a week to start working.
I am sure that you would definitely stop bleeding by mid - November, as it is still more than a month away.
In case you want to be safe, then for the planned dates of the vacation, you can start taking progesterone tablets ( Meprate for eg ) twice a day starting a couple of days before the holiday, and then stop taking it when you want your period.
You would have a withdrawal bleed within a week of stopping the tablets.
All the best.
Please feel free to ask for further clarifications.
