Stan,
That's an interesting post to read.
I am also frequently facing the decision of what lenses to take on a
particular trip (as many of people here do), but with somewhat different
constraints and "boundary conditions". In most cases, I am limited to what
fits in the bag that qualifies as a "personal item" (in the carry-on).
(And I am very happy with Vanguard Up-Rise 33 for that.)
As for the statement quoted below, ... well... I agree but only to a
certain extent. Unless going by car, I am not taking 2 SLR to "big"
travels. And I am sometimes planning what lens is attached to the camera
inside the bag, but, I do change lenses, and sometimes rather frequently,
when the situation calls for it. Yes, occasionally, there are missed
opportunities because the lens is too long or too wide, but "oh, well!.."
Actually, I've stopped carrying 18-250 which is more "universal" in favor
of 17-70 which provides better quality for me, and I always have 50-135
for when 70 is not long enough, and then 35/1.8, 50/1.4, 77/1.8 for when
the zooms are not fast enough.
Cheers,
Igor

General conclusion from this and a variety of earlier travels: the most
important lens is the one mounted on the camera in your hand at the time
when a photo opportunity arises. At that point it doesn't matter what else
you left at home, what else is in the bag, even what else is mounted on
your 2nd camera body.
