Sounds like a classic case of the propshaft. That is a known problem on our cars. More annoyong than anything. Costs about $1000 to replace, but you can live with it. Do some searches on here for propshaft and you'll get the complete lowdown and more. You should be fine to go on your trip if you can stand the noise. Mine was luckily replaced under warranty at about 45K miles.
