I also made the executive decision to pack my entire toilet kit to avoid the whole 3-1-1 thing. There is nothing I desperately need in it for the ride over. And it didn't fit in my carry-on. Toss in two boxes of gluten free trail bars for hiking and it is stuffed to the gills.

The carry-on has all the junk you need to keep yourself entertained and fed while being bored to death on an airplane, plus a full set of clothes in case the unforeseen happens. (you never know when you may find yourself in desperate need of clothing) I preloaded a few books, an audio book, and a new game onto my kindle and also brought a small coloring book and pencils, and a journal because I so love to journal--ugh.

The best thing about the luggage (from Eagle Creek) is that the two bags snap together when you arrive at your destination, so you have only one wheeled thing to deal with. I think the whole idea is amazing!
