Question Regarding my TDEE [Vacation Activity Level]

Hey everyone! I have a quick question in regards to going up to my TDEE!
My plan was to start going up tomorrow while on vacation. However, being on vacation means that I will most likely not be AS active as I usually am. (I put myself at strenuous before [I exercise 6+ hours a week], so now I think I'll be light/ morodate).
However, upon returning in TWO weeks (that's the big thing, I'll be gone for two full weeks), I will return to my exercise schedule.
I do plan on doing at least half an hour of casual walking a day. Some days it will be more like three hours of walking (theme park stuff) and other days will be swimming (1 hour at a time).
I look at it and think to myself it could potentially total up to 6+ hours.. but it isn't really strenuous. At least with my 6+ hours now, I'm lifting, I'm doing HIIT training, regular cardio.. you know, things that make me FEEL like I worked out.
So I guess the question is:
Should I just eat at my normal TDEE which is 2546
Or should I drop down to a moderate or light exercise TDEE, which for me would be: 2288 / 2029
Please let me know!!
Thanks everyone!!!

Maybe the experts can chime in, but if it were me I would recalculate based on your anticipated activity level for those two weeks and go with those numbers.0
