"I will be vising my hometown during that time" - Is it grammatically correct to say?

Question

Suppose I have to apply for a leave application and send a mail to the manager requesting the same. I have to provide a reason as well. So, can I write the below sentence as a reason. I mean is it grammatically correct? Since I visit some place one time, not continuously, but still I have to use a future continuous tense here since i didn't see any other better option to express it. "I would like to take leave from 11th Oct, 2013 to 18th Oct, 2013, since I will be vising my hometown during that time" - So, teachers please explain whether this articulation is grammatically correct or not? or there are other better ways to express it.

Tapas Mandalsince I will be visiting my hometown during that time

The problem is that you won't be visiting your hometown during that time if your application is not approved.

I would like to take leave from October 11 to October 18 to visit my hometown.

Think of to visit as for the purpose of visiting.

Thanks CJ for your quick reply

Also I want to know that I will be visiting my hometown during that time. Is this sentence correct?

I mean since I used the preposition during in the sentence which indicates a extended period of time but the verb visit indicates a single point of time, so, does the verb contradicts with the preposition? since, we visit a place one time only not again and again.

So, again my question is - is the same sentence grammatically correct as well?

Correct. There is no contradiction because the use of the continuous tense will be visiting indicates activity during a period of time.
