I'm intrigued, isn't it normal to have holidays?

this person must be European

I feel for our American cousins in so many ways right now.

We might have something of interest for you… remind me when I am back (2 weeks left of my 5-week holiday).

…though, if you happened to write to anyone in my team, our out of office message tells you which colleague to contact for what. We are large enough team for that, and we are not all out simultaneously. Our summers are longer that you would guess.
