The Conti kit is decent, but I agree on skipping the 'slime'. A decent quality plug kit will serve much better, is not hard to use, and done right, the plug will get you a long way with no TPSM damage or prob for a tire joint to remove the tire.

If you are leaving 'tomorrow', a good plug kit and a vise grip or two may not be handy; if you aren't up against the wall with time, there are several sites that have decent plug kits and ship overnight. Otoh, I still few a flat tire on a trip as the least of my concerns. 99% of my flats, (usually a nail or screw in the tread), have been discovered in my driveway or when parked overnight somewhere.
