Rough idle after sitting - ideas?

Hi,
Trying to use the Expy a little less due to gas prices. Let is sit over the long weekend and upon start this morning it had a rough idle, shaking the vehicle a bit, lasting about 3 to 5 minutes before it smoothed out. No problems other than that. Any ideas? Should I check into anything? I have a trip coming up next month and don't want to have any problems!
Thx,
Gary

Hi,
It is up to 77K now. Just changed fuel filter a few weeks ago when having oil change done. I was on a trip the past 3 days and let it sit at the airport and it started fine. Maybe some bad gas?

With mileage down at 77K it shouldn't be anything serious like worn valve guides or rings. My other thought is if it rained, the engine might have just been damp and needed to be dried out.
