Am I being overly optomistic trying to fit a 5.5 day trip into a carryon? The plan is to buy shampoo and toothpaste there, it'll be cheaper than the checked baggage fee.

my CPAP machine flys free, the case for it generally carries other things in addition to my machine.

Depends on the nature of the trip. If you're going skiing, I'd say you're a tad optimistic.

My personal item is the backpack for my laptop (the purse gets packed just like shoes), so I'll be able to fit a fair bit there. My main concern is the weather I don't know if there's room to pack a coat for 30ish highs (and I don't want to wear it there since it's highs in the 70s when I'm travelling)

Check out onebag.com. Lots of tips there.

well you can always take one of those travel jackets and kill two birds with one coat - http://www.scottevest.com/v3_stor...

Or you could fly Southwest. No fees for first 2 bags. :)

You can do it! I took a carryon for a 10 day trip to London

I travel with one carry-on bag and my laptop bag for all of my work trips. It can definitely be done.

Because I used to work for a courier company that delivered lost luggage for all the airlines, I don't believe in checked baggage. Cotton knits and ziplock bags are your friend. Seal everything up in them and squish all the air out of them so it takes up a lot less space. Pack a small travel steamer.
