hey
i can totally relate. A couple years back my girlfriend and I took a 16 hr. road trip and I was as nervous as hell for the weeks/days preceeding it, running thru my head every worst case scenario. Had agorophobic fears that I would be in unfamiliar territory and would freak out. But I did it. Sure there were times when I felt uneasy (especially some depersonalization at a rest stop) but other than that it all went off without a hitch, on the way there and back. You are going with your girlfriend as well, and you have meds if needed. You need to do this for yourself- like you said- to hit the "anxiety monster" right on the head.
good luck
andy
