Fortunately, I am facing the same dilemma in a couple of months.  I think it
is a good idea to take a super wide, (15 Heliar) for the big scenes and
broad views.  Otherwise, I tend toward wide angle lenses, 28, 35 and 50,
with nothing smaller than that.  I travel with a Domke bag as a carry on and
pack a smaller Domke in my suitcase and carry that every day.  It holds 2
bodies and the day's lenses, as well as guidebook, etc.

I am wondering if I should take some type of tripod for lower light shots.
Maybe just a table top tripod for dusk and night stuff.

Plan to carry only  Superia 400.

Jim
