The answer

If you intended to stay two weeks in a country you arrived in, your journey has ended with this intention. You are not permitted to break your fast nor shorten your prayers, because the ruling of travel ceases with the intention of staying four days or more, according to the majority of jurists. You must make up the days you missed fasting, but there is no expiation upon you.
