Away from a country for sth.

[Kwfine]

Dear teachers,

I have a good friend who is living in Australia.
I am going to write to her an e-mail,
but I am not sure if there are any grammatical mistakes in
the following sentence in bold:
My family will be away from Australia for holidays in Japan for
two weeks.
(My family are living in Australia now, and
they have already decided to visit Japan next month.)
Could you help me please?

If I say a person is away from a country for a few days,
does it mean that the person is not in the country for a few days?

Thank you.

Kitty

My family will be away from Australia for a two-week holiday in Japan.

If I say a person is away from a country for a few days,
does it mean that the person is not in the country for a few days?-- Yes
