Tires  wearing ok? Look at them, feel the edges. They ok? Good deal!
When is the last time you rotated them? Every 7k miles or so is good,
check the tire pressure.
Any other problems you're aware of? Things you feel funny about? Get
them taken care of, if not then I'd change the oil & go.
Have a great time! Write if you feel the urge, I really like trip reports.....
