Delurking for a moment to (just like Marty) extol the virtues of the
crumpler gear. I've travelled a lot with the laptop in one of their
big backpacks, and all the camera gear in the one Jeffery describes
below, the "Six Million Dollar Home". Specifically, it's enough to
get quite a bit in: last time, I lugged a Canon DSLR with a standard
lens, plus an M3 and a 50/2, 40/1.4 and 90 Tele-Elmarit around France
with it. Fits snugly and doesn't draw too much attention if you're OK
with that sort of weight.
For even more on-topic points, photos from the trip are here:

It's pretty obvious from the mix of shots that I enjoyed using the M3
a lot more and could probably have left the Canon at home, or gotten
myself another m-mount body :) It was this trip that made me aware of
just how good the DR Summicron is, too.
Anyway. The bag's awesome -- goes everywhere with me, absolutely
indestructible, room enough to fit an M body, two or three lenses and
miscellaneous other stuff. Glad to see them making a name for
themselves outside Australia!
