Final Advice before my 1st 1,600 mile trip with the car? 900 1995

My 1995 945, 180,000 miles, has been checked out a couple of times at midas. I'm gonna need a new rear muffler and struts sometime, but not right now. I'm leaving Sunday to go and get my first Amazon (and take a vaction with my wife). I've taken as many car precutions as I could think of as I've only owned this car since February, so I went overboard with perventive maintenance.
Did I miss anything obvious?

In preparation, I have:
-flushed all fluids (coolant, oil, ps, tranny)
-replaced/added filters to all fluid systems (except coolant)
-new radiator and expansion tank
-hoses look and feel good
-wired up loss of coolant sensor
-oil change, 10W30 synthetic mobil1 w/ volvo oem filter
-new BPR6ES NGK sparks, new wires, new Bosch rotor and cap.
-magnetic oil plug
-new belts and water pump
-new urethane bushings for alternator (3)
-new oil pan gasket (was very leaky)
-new front seals (also leaky)
-new timing belt
-new flame trap nipple and filter
-new pulsair "f" pipe
-new front and rear wipers
-new euro side-marker lights
-new skid plate
-tires and brakes, good all way around

Did I miss anything important?

Thanks,
Jack
