[Roadtrip]

You're a brave man to drive a car with some weird electrical issues that far. If it's running ok without turning the headlights on, I'd advise you confine driving to daytime and not tempt you electrical system to go Tango Uniform on you.

You might want to take a long length of wire with you and if the ignition dies, you can just disconnect the existing wire to the coil and run a hot wire from the battery to the coil and bypass the fusebox and key switch mess altogether.
