Wheel Bearings Again

I have almost 70K on my 2000 base Boxster and I have been hearing some noise from the rear end that sounds like the descriptions I have been reading of wheel bearings starting to misbehave. These are the original wheel bearings, so it seems like they may be due for replacement.

My question is, can I damage anything by driving the car too much if the wheel bearings are starting to make noise. I am asking because I am planning on taking a 1500 mile road trip in a couple of weeks and dont want to do something that will bugger up the bearings if they are starting to go. Ideas please....
