Good luck Anne
MrsB - play nicely - you're on holiday with family, you have no need opportunity to make use of hot young electricians. I'm sure *Comtesse will send him straight back once you're home and he's recovered her circuits have all been checked 
MoreLike - blimey - what are you thinking of that takes so long to organise? A wench meet-up? YANBU - very enthusiastic, but not unreasonable unless your'e expecting others to get excited this far in advance
I think my last big one involved family coming round and eating lots of food. (Not terribly good at celebrating birthdays here - too much effort unless someone's going to sort it all out for me!)
Am also impressed at Inigo's ability to last 6 days without internet
Suspect Inigo has a better RL/online life balance than me, obviously. Though I did manage it last summer hols, from what I recall. And last September in S Africa. So it can be done
