I go places for a week pretty regularly, and rarely check a bag. If I'm going away for a week to a place that's not a resort, it's pretty easy (and in my case, usually cheaper) to buy shampoo and contact solution at my destination. When I go home to Florida for Christmas, I send the presents ahead of time, as well as a few semi-formal dresses if we have some commitments that require more than casual clothing. It's never been that hard, really.
One of my best friends works for an airline and takes full advantage of the flextime and free standby flights. He's out of SF for a week on a pretty regular basis, and always only carries-on.
