Where are you going on vacation?
Like Rick said, if you're taking it to a shop, have them pull the bolt and put anti-seize on it. Changing the CPS really is a roadside swap so don't worry. And there's no guarantee the new one will outlive the old one, not to mention some of the rough idle and other issues that come with the "new & improved" version of the CPS.

Like Rick said, the new one may not last as long as the old one....even though you bought it at Ford. I have changed mine twice on the side of the road. It takes about 10 minutes....including finding the wrench and the CPS in the glove box...lol

Keep a wrench and the new CPS with the truck at all times and leave the old one in until it fails. It's definitely a do-able roadside fix.
