You better bring a bit of sunshine with you Dave....been a washout in this part of the world this year !! West coast is lovely all right....you`ll have to go to the Cliffs of Moher if you haven`t been already....worth a visit.
If you can leave the system off overnight, and apply a coat of this http://www.sudocrem.com/ before you sleep,it will help big-time....it`s very soothing and healing. The Got2b is handy all right--ideal for fast /easy removal like you need just now.... keep me posted !
