There are slight differences in meaning. "After a week" seems to suggest you came back after being gone a week. "A week later would be used if you came back a week after doing the last thing you said.
For example:
I went on vacation. I started in Florida then went to Mexico. After a week I came back.
That means you started your week long vacation in Florida then went to Mexico. Your whole vacation was one week.
I went on vacation. I started in Florida then went to Mexico. A week later, I came back.
That usually means you spent a week in Mexico.

We always got a packed lunch from the hotel.
