HP5+, FP4+, TMZ and some NPH. Small flash in tow as well. Last trip to NY, also slipped a Bessa R with 21/4 into the bag with ease :-) Last time I traveled by car (Gaspe penninsula, Canada), the kit was a Bessa R, a 35/2.5P and the aforementioned 50 and 21 lenses. I also carried a Nikon FM3a with the lovely 28/2.8 and a 135/2.8 AIS. The Nikon 135 turned out perfect for many selective landscape type pics, and in fact the 28/135 combo got a surprising amount of "air time" during the whole trip. Since then, I sometimes think that if I weren't so enamoured of RF shooting, the little FM3a and those two lenses could keep me a quite happy shooter for some time.
