5000-7000 mile trip ... need a backup DI??

So, ...
I'm going on a ~7-8000 mile cross-country trip in our '95 9000CS with 110k on it, from Maine to California and back, and I'm wondering if I should indeed buy a backup DI just in case?
From the records, the car has already had one new DI (at under 20k, I think). It's a red one, if that matters. What is the deal with new DI's these days? Are the new ones more reliable than the originals? I just don't want to get stuck (with my mother) in the middle of Wyoming with a non-functional vehicle.
Any other suggestions (other than checking tires -- new ones are going on this coming week)? The car is running great (always has) and the only annoyance is the radio cutting out, which we're also working on :)
TIA,
Tim B.
