So I'm packing for my trip. Name one thing you think I might have forgotten or one thing that you could not do without on an 11 day trip.

Total travel time is about 25 hours, including layovers. The longest flight (from Washington, DC to Beijing) is 14 hours, 1 minute.

I have ibuprofen for pain or inflammation, benadryl for allergies and to help me sleep (I think it can help with motion sickness, too, but luckily that isn't a problem for me), imodium (they told us at the health department to get it for travelers diarrhea, we also each got a prescription for a z-pack for that, except my brother who is too much of a wimp to get the shots that are recommended but not required), and my two prescriptions. I think those should cover most possibilities.
Is there a reason that they need to be in the checked bag? I was planning on carrying on my main bag. I also have a bag filled with stuff for Penelope (clothes, diapers, wipes, rice cereal) that will be checked.

Luckily, I won't need any tampons. I got that over with this week. I have deodorant. I never really use rolaids, so I hope I won't need them.

I have my parents camera and charger, unfortunately I think they only have one battery for it. I'm not bringing my camera because none of the batteries I have for it hold a charge. I have AAA's for my MP3 player, my Nintendo DS charger, and my cell phone charger (even though it won't work, I use it to tell time). Thanks!

I have safety pins. I don't really use q-tips or wear sunglasses, so I don't have either of those.

I have both of those! I hate not having a hair tie.

I have gum, my parents still need to ask our neighbors to collect our mail and newspapers, I have a toothbrush, and I have a comb instead of a hairbrush.
You can have the post office save your mail

Most likely you can do the same with the papers.
As for taking your main bag on the plan - remember that there is a size restriction and also restrictions as to what you can have in that bag.

Yeah, I think we should have the papers canceled temporarily, but I don't know if my mom is going to do that. I think we will just have the neighbor get the mail so we don't have to go to the post office to pick it up. Our post office is not that close to our house.
I checked United's web site, and my bag falls within the guildelines. I only have the allowed amount liquids in there, and I don't think I have anything else that is prohibited.
