150,000 mile Checkup

I bought my '96 Saab 9000 CS almost exactly one year ago at 133,000 miles and just turned over 150,000 a few days back. I use the car primarily for short trips at college, road trips, and to make the 800mile trip home from Indiana to North Carolina (and back) a number of times each year. I'm working in Seattle right now (drove here from Indiana) and I want to bring the car in for a checkup before I drive the 2,200 miles back to school. This is my first Saab, and I want to make sure I know the dos and don'ts of a tuneup at this sort of mileage before I bring it in. Any suggestions?
Here is the list that I have right now for things I want checked out:
-Struts
-Timing Belt (or chain, I can't remember what the 9000 has)
-Rotate tires
-Front End Alignment
-Oil Change
-fuel filter
-air filter
-temp sensor (the car always seemed to run a little cold, or is this normal?)
Short version: Are there any essentials on a '96 9000 CS that I should have checked out at 150,000 miles before driving 2,200 miles home.
Thanks!
John
