Surly you don't have the time to put each lens in it's own sealed bag? Why not just invest in a Pelican or Underwater Kinetics case, they hermetically seal and you can put a big bag of some easily re-charged desiccant in there too. This is what i've done for years with no problems and fungus growth is a problem here normally. There is the added benefit that they also keep dust and moisture out of your gear if you take them with you travelling.
