I've not technically done a land away - but I have taken off from not my home airport (I was in the back on the way there...). Before doing it I discussed it at length with my instructor, and he had me prepared to do PPR (although in the end the other student did it). Surely I'm not just lucky with my instructor?
Agree though about the questions - this is a great place to get extra information - if you are already in the right mental place when talking to your instructor, you will get more out of it. If you can get a start from what you read here, you can then take it to your instructor and discuss.
Knowing what isn't right (and the reasons) is often as important as what is right.
