Is this sentence OK?

"I will be away on holidays, returning August 1, 2012. If you need assistance, contact our Reception."

In AmE, if official/national holiday(s): "I will be away for the holiday(s) etc." If vacation, "I will be on vacation etc."

If it were not clear that she is determined to move away from this area, we would do everything we could/can to keep her here.
