I will also be doing a good bit of standing as I will have a booth at a conference during the end of the trip.
Any good suggestions on keeping my feet happy and still pretty at the same time? I would bring my nursing shoes (I still may) but really looking for something more stylish.
I posted an extensive list of what I like for comfort in January so it's fairly current on what is available.

Some of my favorites are listed below as well. I second Dansko for being comfortable for standing long periods of time.
Dansko Bobbi - I have these in black, I like them so much I may get the brown as well, the have a removable insert. The cuff is adjustable or can be worn all the way up.

Born Crown Yolando - I have these boots in black, they do not have a removable insert, however an insert will fit inside if you are going to be on your feet for hours. They got me through a 5 hour class reunion with little discomfort.

Dansko Summer - A co-worker introduced me to Dansko's recently, so far so good.

Dansko Solstice - Another comfortable pair.
