maintenance for long trip abroad 120-130

I would certainly check the water pump carefully for signs of excess movement at the shaft. If the bearing should fail at motorway speeds, you may end up needing a water pump, fan AND radiator.
If most of your travel is around town, you may be surprised by the amount of engine oil that is consumed at continuous high engine speeds.
A tuneup before starting out would be a good idea as well.
