In my experience, you can go a couple thousand miles on a noisy bearing without a problem, so I wouldn't worry about a little trip. I've had both the passenger side front and passenger side rear go bad during the last few months.
I've never known a bad bearing to create enough resistance to make the car pull to one side. I know this is basic, but the pulling to one side could be caused by low tire pressure on one side, so if you don't check tire pressure regularly now's the time.
Finally, not too hard a DIY job, but you need a big socket (I think it's 30 or 32mm, don't remember) for the axle nut, and make sure you tighten it well. Actually, some people have mentioned that loose axle nuts have caused bearing-failure-like symptoms.
Good luck!!
