Thanks for the reply, Moose. And you couldn't be more wrong, very helpful!

Your point about redundancy strikes a chord. I had been contemplating 
taking the E-400 and E-620 anyway, but buying the grip for the 620 to 
extend shooting. But I'm now thinking that if I stick with the 400/620 
batteries I only need one charger, or one type of charger (I have two of 
them). The grip would mean another charger...

Lenses, well, I have 11-22, 14-42, 14-45, 17.5-45 and 40-150; plus any 
MF lenses I care to include. Initial thoughts were take 11-22, 40-150 
and acquire the 70-300 for its reach. That would be two bodies and three 
zooms, all light, covering 22-600 fov in 35mm.

Tripod is probably out, unless it's a tabletop. I'd take a beanbag and 
make a decision on the monopod when I pack, but assume not. Only 
built-in flash. Loads of cards, as I don't think I can squeeze in a laptop.

I might want to take a compact for casual shooting and fast, close-range 
opportunities, so may nab a used raw-enabled compact sometime.

That's the initial thought, at least. Still time to change mind, panic, 
change it again..!
