In addition to the other posts so far, I suggest:
If top hose is same age as bottom hose, you probably should change both. Heater hoses OK?
If cooling system hasn't been flushed for a while, do that before new hoses are installed, then refill with new new 50/50 mixture coolant after new hoses are installed.
Carry an extra couple quarts of oil. Oil prices enroute are usually pretty high. A 1 gal. jug of water would be wise also.
Have a great trip!
