Congrats! It's a great vehicle - I've now got 12k miles on mine since the end of March, and it gets better and better as it loosens up. My overall average MPG has improved from about 23 when new to about 27 now as the miles have accumulated (5 sp), and the car is much quicker now than it was several months ago.
One suggestion - break up your trip home into 5 to 7 short drives over the first 300 miles. Drive far enough that the engine gets thoroughly heat soaked (30 to 50 miles), and then stop and let it cool way down before moving on. Have lunch, go sightseeing, shopping, etc., but don't just hop on the interstate and roll up the early miles in one shot.
The heating/cooling cycle provides stress relief to the newly cast and machined engine components, and you want to give the parts a number of heating/cooling cycles so that what's supposed to be round stays round and doesn't drift into oval and get locked there.
