Original water pumps CAN go for 80K....new replacements can fail after 100 miles. If you do pump, replace serp belt too. Coolant tanks rupture for the most part if radiators are over filled. Just an FYI...I'd do codes first.

I would just change oil before leaving. Carry quart of oil, gallon of distilled water in rear trunk to keep levels correct. You probably really don't need to do anything, but code check seems smart. Inflated tires to 5 lbs below max for highway max miles.
