One thing I do before replacing pads is remove some brake fluid if the fluid is at the max line. With the thicker new pads the fluid may be overfilled causing a leak or making a mess the next time you remove the reservoir cover.
My BMW manual tells you to remove the speed sensor when removing the left caliper but I never had to do that when changing tires.
At first I was surprised your front pads are so thin, but I'm guessing commuting uses more brakes.
I went out and looked at my front pads with a mirror and they look pretty thick.
My rear pads look thicker than yours but I still plan to replace them before the trip.
Maybe it's all in my head but I swear brakes don't feel as good once they are half worn.
