What to do?

So I have dropped off my camera at the Nikon store. They said I can find out on the 25th online how long it will be and how much it will costs. The guys said that it might be 30 days if not more. That is a LONG time. I plan to go to Mendoza before the 25th which will be a distraction. I found a D70 which is a slightly worse version of what I have and a decent lens for around 450 US. This sucks major. So what do I do next? Please comment because I really do not know what to do.
