(Aside: "He" is the appropriate pronoun for me - I realize it isn't obvious from the handle. Moreso from the avatar)
One thing that sticks out to me is Bilbo insisting to Gandalf, both before the party and after, that what he really needs is a "holiday".
What he intends to do is in no real sense a holiday. He very much intends to leave permanently.
And what is he on holiday from, anyway? The hustle and bustle of not having a job,and not having a family?
What he is doing is much more adventure than holiday.
