John:

On my last trip to Europe, I forced myself to take one body (an OM-4) and three 
Zuikos: a 21/2.0, 28/2.0 and 100/2.0.  I thought I'd miss all the extra kit, 
but in fact it was quite liberating (not to mention *much* lighter and easier 
to pack into my carry-on).  I'd really forgotten just how much I like my 
28/2.0, for example.  I intend to continue taking just pieces of my kit, rather 
than every bloody thing I own.  ;-)
