Just about every recommended break in involves little to no constant RPM driving, like you see on the highway. You want to seat the rings in with varying RPM/temps, etc. Obviously, that was the OP's concern mentioning a long road trip.
And the really anal guys will always make a first oil change around 1k, removing any break in metals, before going the full oil change interval.
