Put a piece of tape or something over the cruise control to remind yourself not to use it. The engine needs the RPM varied during break in. Street driving is best, but highway driving won't hurt it if you don't settle into a constant speed. Personally, I'd take the back roads if possible.
A couple of days after I took delivery of mine in New Orleans, I had to take it on a business trip. I was excited to drive it, so I threw my clothes in a bag, grabbed my laptop bag, jumped in the car and took the Louisiana back roads just to avoid the highway and the temptation to cruise.
About 2 PM I rolled into Natchitoches, checked into my hotel, reached into my laptop bag and suddenly realized that in my excitement to drive the car, I had left my laptop sitting on my desk back in my apartment in New Orleans. I couldn't work without my laptop, so I had to go back and get it. All totaled, I was on the road almost 13 hours that day.
Added to the couple of hundred miles I had already put on the car the day I got it, I passed the 1000 mile break-in limit a few days later on the way back home.
