A few ideas are...A London Escape! 
You may not escape the rain, but you'll be bombarded with eccentric accents, scenic sights, and a royal sense of style. People magazine recommends "ignore clichés about British food: hearty roast beef suppers and rich desserts are where this cuisine shines. And the music can't be beat. Create a mix of the Beatles, the Who, Tom Jones and Dusty Springfield," and you've got yourself a swinging shindig!

What a cool idea! A Greek Islands party sounds up my alley... maybe I will give this a try.
Oohlala, this is such a neat idea! Very welcome during this dull winter month. I feel the exact same way as you do and my birthday is in January as well! If it wasn't for that, I'd probably make like a bear and hibernate til February ;)
