Does anyone know of a site where I can plug in the cities I've been to so far on my trip and get a map with nice Indiana Jones style red lines showing my route? I'd like something I can update with each new place I've been and easily get a new pic.

maps.google.com
On the lefthand side, just below the Google logo, click on "my maps"
It's a little more manual than entering city names, but I think that's actually a good thing. You can also leave notes, etc.

My experience is that you are probably not going to get better deals at this point, when you're only a week away from the trip.

I know you're already inclined to fly Southwest, and I'll add another factor which I think weighs in Southwest's favor: most other airlines will charge you $30-50 each way for checked luggage. Southwest gives you two bags free. So consider that when you're weighing costs.

A while back I found Kayak's Buzz feature, but now it looks like it's no longer active. Is there any other website that lets you punch in your starting city and lets you see a list of the cheapest international flights from there? I want to get out of the US for a couple of weeks but I'm not very picky where because I want to go pretty much everywhere.

e: Actually Student Universe's FarePlay looks like it has what I want, but I'd love other options since I don't really know anything about SU and most of its results are for short lengths of time. I'd love for a feature to be able to put in an approximate trip length even though Buzz didn't even have that.

Definitely worth it for Europe.
