Got all bar 29D; am I trying to be too clever or is the answer an obscure word?

[maurice]

As far as I can see 29d is a perfectly normal English word with the same meaning as the other unclued ones. You could put "Till" or "See you" in front of it to make it clearer!

[maurice]

I notice Chambers explains it's a U.S. informal expression, not so familiar to us in Ye Olde Worlde!

[mathsman]

That explains my olde worlde lack of awareness. Thank you.

25d - Central America: Spain invades no-good area, deposing king - has me beat, i have n?o?a?a but cannot break it. Any hints please? Is answer in Chambers?

[Neveracrossword]

Neogaea - Neotropical region. It's in Chambers - and sorry, I couldn't think of any way to give a hint.

[Piffleworthy]

Thank you -I should have checked my Chambers more carefully. I gan see neo but could not see wordplay for gaea.
