Like your list but would vote for the 14-140 as a long lens. Tried the 45-200 for 2 months and got very marginal results at the long end. It's an economical lens but I think is a classic case of getting what you paid for. Enjoy Kauai it's a wonderful place!

is since they are so small you can bring em all? You'll need something to do between activities.

You've pretty much got it covered. If you are going to do wildlife or birds I'd suggest 100-300.

I'm going in the new year. I'll be bringing the 9-18, 20, and 14-45. The only reason I would have for bringing the 45-200 is for whale photos but they're usually so far from shore that 200mm on m43 still isn't long enough. However, my wife always insists that I photograph whales when we see them, no matter how tiny they appear, so I may end up bringing it anyway.
The other problem is that my 45-200 isn't very impressive at the long end.

That's what I would bring too, especially the 9-18 if I owned one. I use my 45-200 quite a lot, but when I do it's for my kids outdoor sports. I'm pretty happy with it though, especially for the price. The only lens I never leave home without is the 20.

With m4/3 the limit is more what you can afford!

Take em all!
The wide and 3 primes together are about the same size as the 45-200mm, right? ;-)
It's a pretty good selection you have.

I have the 14-140mm which it's very good, quite flexible and convenient when traveling. The only real problem I find with it is when I want a longer lens for birds or whatnot, it never seems long enough. I've tried the 45-200mm and wasn't overly impressed.
If I were the OP, I'd be tempted to sell the 45-200mm and put that toward a 100-300mm, which would be much better for a nature-oriented trip.
Besides, his wife wants whale pictures and that would help get some!

All that stuff fits in a small bag, especially compared to a full frame DSLR kit. I can fit my m4/3 body, kit lens, 20mm f/1.7 pancake, and 7-14mm Lumix Vario in a ridiculously small bag compared to a full-on backpack if I take my D700 and lenses. Enjoy Hawaii and your honeymoon.

9-18 and 45, that's all. Aren't you on a honeymoon? Watch out so it won't be just you, a moon and no honey.
