Have your cooling system flushed, coolant changed, and thermostat replaced before you go. Check the grille and the front of the radiator for obsructions (dead bugs, dirt, leaves, etc.) Spray the outside of the radiator down at the car wash to remove anything you find.
If it starts to get warm on the drive, slow down. Lower RPMs = less heat. If it gets too hot, find a place where you can pull safely off the road and let it cool before moving on. Turning the heat on was a good idea, but I wouldn't want to overheat the baby in order to save the car.
Replace the thermostat? It could be sticking in the closed position and not allowing coolant to circulate back through the radiator.
