If you added the alk portion quickly (or recently) your pH could be higher as a result of that. Over the next 10 days of your vacation the levels will drop (both pH and alk). I don't recommend getting them back up to those levels as wide swings like that aren't really all that great for the inhabitants. A dkH of about 7-9 usually gets the job done IMHO.
