    barb, I always wrap or wear night gear for a trip that long. Here are some factors to consider:


    Will you be stopping often (at least every hour) to stretch and exercise?


    Will you be driving a flat route or changing altitude (crossing hills or mountains)?


    Since you're a passenger, can you keep your arm elevated and supported throughout the trip?


    I also find that lots of start/stop driving (shopping, crowded freeway driving) is harder on my LE than a smooth trip. Stay really well hydrated, keep up with the deep abdominal breathing and the arm/hand stretches at intervals. And HAVE FUN!!


    Happy travels!
