While my timing belt itself looks fine (and it designed to go to 100k) the other parts (bearings etc) are what usually fail first and it's best to get it done while he's in there anyways. I COMPLETELY trust my mechanic. He ONLY works on Volvos and Saabs and has been my mechanic for quite a while now. I actually missed him when I had the Mercedes.
I also don't want anything to happen while we're traveling. With the Volvo being the car we're taking to Yosemite/Cambira, I feel better about it being in good shape.
I will ask him about the water pump - thanks DPR.
