Wow, your stress doesn't sound particularly surprising given all that's going on. But, you know, researching cameras is a totally valid part of pre-trip planning as far as I'm concerned, plus trust me- I know this is like...half way around the world for you, but in Bali and Thailand? At least you're really not going to be the only underprepared, clueless foreigner wandering around (I say this because hey, it's a favoured tourist destination for a lot of Australians, none of whom have a clue...you, you I suspect will be overprepared by our standards by the time you get there!).
Urgh, I hate the disconnected feeling...it's thoroughly unpleasant. But, y'know, sometimes I think the best thing is to just have a break from people and take some time for yourself- people come with issues, and at times it's a bit of a pain in the ass to be reading/directly involved with everyone else's when you've got stuff on your own plate to deal with.
Edited to say: Happy Birthday!!! :D
