Looks a really nice bike for the money.
Few tips: order some spare tubes and a pump and know how to change them. Find out now whether you need tyre levers or not to get the tyres off (been there, done that...). You might want mudguards unless you can guarantee you're not going to hit a dog **** on a wet day.
Wear a helmet and gloves. If you're going to ride every day on your holiday consider getting a pair of padded shorts too. Google "Endura Humvees", or any bike shop will sell just the liner which you can wear under normal shorts / trousers etc.
Most of my money seems to be funnelled to ChainReactionCycles.com, which offer good prices and lightning fast delivery.
Remember, contrary to what it says on the can, never use WD40 on a bike unless it's specifically to degrease components. Get some good wet lube (oooh errr) and stick a few drops on the chain, on any pivots, and trickle a bit down all the cables.
And ESPECIALLY since Halfords built it up for you, go over it with a fine tooth comb and make sure all the bolts are tight. There should be no play in any component save the brakes.
