So, I'm making the whipped cream from scratch. Usually I'm hosting and can just make it as needed. However, we are guests this year and I need to travel about an hour away.

If you put the bowl in a cooler with a bunch of ice or gel-pack, you should be good for a few hours.

Ciao George! I think this is the right answer - but - my wife would bring the cream and sugar with her and still whip it up fresh.

I also read that you can add a mix of water and Knox unflavored gelatin to the whipped cream. It will make it hold its peaks longer. (you dissolve the gelatin in the water before adding it.)
Wisconsin, smell the dairy air

me too. I'd bring my own bowl and beaters so as not to distress my host!

Ok, you guys have convinced me to just take my own stuff with me and make it before dessert is served! Thanks!

I just switched up my whipped cream with a maple cream sauce. It was so easy to make today and less of a hassle than whipping tomorrow.

Another secret is to whip in a pkg of dream whip and whatever stabilizer is in that stuff (I really don't want to know) will keep the whipping cream firm.
