いよいよ
finally, at last
Everything is packed, the taxi is booked and there is nothing left standing between you and it. Yo よ, and yo よ again. Tomorrow, then: いよいよ.
やっと, ようやく and ついに look back at how long it took. いよいよ looks forward at the thing about to happen, and せめて and 少なくとも are at least, which is a floor and not a finish.
