At the moment, I don't have time for a vacation.
Hopefully, I will soon.
If I were to be able to afford one and if I had the time for one I'd probably go on vacation during the winter months or during early - late spring and leave them all alone, no water, no nothing except for 5 or 6 orchids. Those I'd probably let soak in a container of water and aerate the water. They're water hogs anyways. And I'd be gone for about a week. I don't really like long vacations.
If I was gone for 2 weeks or more, then I'd hire someone.

I'll explain further...
I'd go when I know my orchids need the least amount of water and just not care. Sometimes that's what happens in the wild anyways.
If you've got water hogs, then you're in somewhat of a bind. Everything else you can leave alone.
That's why I don't buy a ton of these on purpose, if I happen to know that they are water hogs to begin with, of course.
