Bring a neck pillow, plan to take naps as needed, find a way to still exercise (swimming, walking, or whatever works for where you will be traveling), drink a lot of bottled water. If you don't get enough water and start to swell then take a nice bath before bed. Oh, don't forget your meds, comfortable clothing, and a POSITIVE attitude. You will enjoy your travel that much more!

Prednisone if I suddenly have a flare. My PMR prescribed a "z pack" of Prednisone

What is an ablation?

I rarely travel as it is exhausting. When i do travel i turn on the heated seat function it help my back feel loved.

Driving is a pain behind the wheel. I noticed when it hit my eyes that it was really hard to drive in the day time. So I drive at night. My eyes get strained and I fall asleep at end of my trip for hours. I see myself needing a driver not to far in the future.
Life as a vagabond requires assistance.
Best to you
