I'm not far from Cali right now... sitting in our office in Reno, NV.
Flying is good, but eat something that will coat your stomach and soak up the acids... a light sandwich of some sort, etc. Don't overeat.
Chew gum to counter the popping of your ears during ascent/decent. Bring lots of reading material... Denver's cool to pass through.
When you're in Denver, you'll likely arrive in Terminal B (Canadian arrivals and departures). You'll need to head to the center of the concourse to find the escalators down to the train that connects the different concourses. I believe you'll want Concourse A (which is US continental departures and arrivals). Check your flight number against the screens upon arrival. Denver airport has lots of nice shops if you have to kill some time.
Oh, music of some sort is good unless you like watered-down everything that they play during the flight. Movies can be seen sometimes on the Toronto-Denver run... sometimes. It's random. Canadian and American cash is taken at par for goods in-flight by Air Canada, but not sure how United and AA, etc treat Canadian cash within the 48 states. I tend to bring a bit of Canadian cash for Pearson stopovers, and the rest in American.
If you have any other questions, PM me :)
Oh yeah, laptops are ALWAYS secondary searched. I haven't had to turn one on since my first run last April, but they always check it, swab the keyboard, inspect the carry case. It's part of the deal, don't feel singled-out.
