Legal Question in Immigration Law in California
I'm a lawful permanent resident in the US (with conditional 2 yr. green card). My green card will expire on April 2018. Can I travel abroad before the expiration date without applying for travel documents or re-entry permit? I only intend to have 1 week vacation outside the US on January 2018. I only have my home country passport and greencard. Are these enough to travel for vacation outside US?

As long as you will be gone less than 6 months, you don't need a re-entry permit (I know USCIS says "1 yr", but I always recommend it for 6+ mos).
As far as your CR goes, you should not have any problem re-entering the U.S. prior to the expiration of your card. I would recommend that you file the I-751 closer to the 90 days prior to the expiration of your CR anyway.
