May I recommend that you check your tetnus status and
figure out how you will handle the medical insurance deal.
A dental visit probably wouldn't hurt..figuratively at least.

I don't know the odds, but i do know several hikers who have had
stuff happen, sometimes even bordering on catastrophic, or at least
multi thousand dollars worth of hospital bills, so what about insurance.

appendicitis or a badly broken bone can happen.....

And if you are leaving early, what about your taxes...yucky....
