Before or after
I'm leaving for a road trip on Tuesday that be about 1900 miles round trip plus running around. I just hit 2000 miles and will probably have about another 300 before I leave. So should I get the first oil change before I leave or after I get back? Or should I get it done while I'm on my trip?

Definitely change it before you hit the road. You're looking at possibly having 4500 miles on that original oil by the time you return, and it's NOT synthetic oil AND it's the break-in oil. Change that crap out and put clean stuff in....and then consider changing it again soon after you return.
