The only dumb question is a question unasked.
Your local autoparts store will have (or can get) a lower rad hose for you.
Long trip hey? Here's a few things I can suggest off the top of my head. I'm sure others will also help.
1) Check all fluids (rad,oil,brake,PS, Tranny, diff, etc)
2) Air up and inspect them tires (don't forget your spare)
3) Speaking of spares: Make sure yours is ready to go (and you've got a working jack etc)
4) When's the last time she had a tune-up? Now might be a good time.
5) Check that all your lights are working(headlights, signal, brake, etc)
6) Tunes.. can't forget the tunes.
7) Get any odities, weird noises, etc fixed before you go.
That's all I can think of for now. I'll post again if I can think of any others. Have a good trip!
