Anyone have advice for last minute stuff? Stuff I might forget? I checked the other posts and I've done pretty much "everything" I could.

Here's my sort of comprehensive list

-travelers checks
-get some euros and pounds tomorrow at the exchange place
-program ipod (damn shuffle- it's not working!! it was free and I have my nano that I bought though) and bring accesories
-prescriptions
-extra contacts and stuff
-confirm flight
-photocopies of important docs
-travel itinerary and contact info for my parents
-digital camera stuff
-converters
-renewed driver's license
-healthy food bars for the plane

I can't think of anything else off the top of my head now.
this is insane I can't believe I'm leaving so soon. I'm not even excited, I'm just doing millions of errands and getting ready! but I am excited that I have a friend that's meeting us in Toronto for our 9 hour stopover and we even get picked up at the airport in Sarajevo by our best friend who speaks the language! then the fun begins...

Take along a bottle of water for the plane, too - you may get thirsty before they start the drinks service, and dehydration compounds jet lag.

I normally take gum when I fly, so I can chew when take off just for the pressure (I don't know if it's totally legit or what but it works for me).
