a new fuel filter,
round of seafoam,

take out and clean the HVAC fan
rotate tires
make sure jack and wrench in place and working
check wiper blade condition (front and rear)
wiper fluid level
clutch fluid level

If I go on a trip usually I just check oil, coolant, washer fluid, tranny fluid, power steering fluid, gas, and tire PSI. Also, I bring lots of fluids for myself :)

Make sure none of your belts are worn....tire PSI is a big one. I forgot to check that when my mom went to Ohio and she blew her tire :shock:
Otherwise, that's all I can think of.
Yes, make sure you have enough stuff for yourself. (clean pair of underwear :wink: )
Have Fun!
