Did you have a PPI?
I would have the 45K service done before your trip at a local mechanic or dealer...indeed peace of mind and your car will love your for it.
Ditto others' comments: Make sure tires are newer and have decent tread/pressure, check brakes and battery, have an eye glass screwdriver with you (to change the key fob battery), cell phone charger, Rainex the windshield, etc.
Valentine One will pay for itself--highly recommend it! Also, use blue 3m painters tape under the top edge of the bra (fenders and hood) when installed and you'll be fine. I have used this setup on the track many times to protect the nose. You do need to take the bra off in a soaking rain.
Bon voyage and bon chance with the car.

Sounds like with all of this advice, you are pretty well set. I would like to offer one thing, take some Advil along. That giant grin on your face for 8 hours straight during your drive can cause a slight muscle pain in your cheeks since you are not use to it....
