Before a longish trip I like to go through the car and make sure things are up to date. I usually do spark plugs, change the oil and filter, put in a new air filter if it's closing in on 24K miles. Do the fuel filter if it's been 60K or so. Makes sure the brakes are good.
If the serp belt is coming up on 50K it's worth doing the belt and pulleys. Top up the PS fluid or maybe even flush it and put in fresh stuff. Check all your hoses, especially the heater hoses where they connect to the engine. Maybe flush the coolant if it's been a couple of years.
And do have a spare DI with you and some tools. Someone said to check the gas tank straps--not a bad idea as they can fail suddenly.
And have a fun trip.
