I've done this a bit and the only suggestion I have is to give yourself plenty 
of time to get through security at all connections.  The lenses don't look 
good in X-ray machines and I can almost guarantee you'll be searched every 
time.  The X-rays don't seem to have any harmful effect on equipment like 
flash cards, etc.

Have a great trip!  Sounds like fun.  I look forward to seeing the pictures.

P.S.,  This last week I've been super busy, but things are better now.  I'll 
send you the code for the cart within the next couple days.
