And so will you by the time you are ready to leave for your trip. It won't be long and you will be giving helpful info and advice. You already have right here.
Questions are very helpful and you have taken the time to post your reply too so this is now a reference for anyone else who encounters this problem (or to help many of us avoid it) in the future.
For some reason people are often misled to believe that you have to give an answer to be helpful - but with no questions, nobody has anything to answer.
