mmm good getaway! That sounds like fun 
3.8lbs in 10 days is doable. The safe mark is no more than 2lbs a week - and that's 'safe' for a realistic number that is true rather than including some water loss. But its a real plus to see your water intake is up during the day so that's nice
Don't sweat BMR. In training, trying to eat 2000cals/day was tough for me. I felt like I ate a lot just having 17-1800! Anyway, I linger around 13-1500 if I'm doing it right. But word of advice and caution, don't drop below 1200. The female human body needs approximately 1200 per day to function daily, minimum (males about 14). So, keep that in mind. I know some days you can come up short for a variety of reasons, it happens. Just try not to let it happen too often or else your setting yourself back a little bit.
Doesn't feel like you're totally stuffing yourself trying to maintain your calories??? lol Its a crazy inverse from what most people think
