Are you running non- run flats? If so I would take a few items tire related for sure.
Plug kit.
Small compressor .
assorted tools.
Small jack.
2 2x6x6 to raise the car to get the jack under it.
flash light.
4 way tire iron.
AAA

Make sure your coolant hoses are all in good shape too. I would also assume you have a cell phone and perhaps emergency road service on your insurance or AAA.

Sounds like fun. I just did a mini trip 800 miles. Covered all the same things u did, checked the air pressure in all four tires, gas'ed her up and hit the road. How is ur oil? If its close to a scheduled oil chg I would do that before u go. Have fun bring ur Ipod for when the top is up and take pic's.
