I always like traveling with a spare serpentine belt. I usually take the old one I just took off and throw it into the emergency kit. If my 'new' belt dies, it eliminates the need to track down a new one quickly.
If your pulleys are more than about 50K miles old, at least inspect them. Make sure that the serp. belt is tracking smoothly in the middle of the tensioner pulley, and that the pulleys sound OK. It wouldn't hurt to check the harmonic balancer for slipping - put some marks (I use chalk) across the face of the pulley, and give the car a few starts. The lines shouldn't have moved.
And frankly, I wouldn't take a long trip without a spare DI.
