Very good idea...I do the same.

Actually, I'd also add the watercases from this brand:
http://www.flightcases.dk/watercases/watercases_index.htm
I've got three (two small and a suitcase-size), and they work fine
and are really water-tight. I know, since a friend of mine decided to
toss one of the cases (with Zuikos, mind you!) into a swimming pool
years back when we were on vacation together. The fact that the
watercase was in fact watertight ensured that he did not turn into
"former friend" from that incident.
They're sturdy too - you can stand on them to get those extra 30cm
height when needed :)
Mandatory disclaimer: I know the people behind flightcases.dk, but I
do not get commision for recommending them. I also paid full price
for my three watercases - so I am just a happy customer.
