Have fun in Greece! With the air travel restrictions in the UK, I had a helluva time packing. I can't do more than two bags as I'm mobile for various parts of my trip so a backpack and a rollaway are the limit. No room for the tripod and my clothes in the rollaway ... nor would I want to risk the tripod or head being stolen! I will NOT check my camera gear or computer, cannot carry-on more than ONE bag the size of my backpack (no tripod bag or tripod strapped to the outside ... that's how I've always traveled before with it). I cut back my kit to the DS body, DA21, FA35, and FA77. Didn't even take the DA14. Wide, normal, portrait tele ... the classic set ... let's see how it goes.
I almost canned all the SLR gear and took the Sony R1 and the tripod, but that's not as good for people and low light work. It was a serious struggle but the Pentax responsiveness and low light capabilities won in the end.
