Practice changing a tire while you are at home. Take all air out of the tube, take the wheel off, take the tire off, take the tube out, then put it back in and fix it up.
Do it for both wheels, and do it only with the tools you'll have on the road. Always do a dry run of procedures you're not sure about before going out on the road.
