I used to carry a LOT more stuff, mostly primes, and left a lot of lenses barely used. We started to only check baggage if we must, so I went on a campaign of gear simplification to keep the photo gear at a reasonable level… carry-on ONLY.

I agree that carry-on only is the way to go.  The good thing is that I travel pretty light clothing-wise, and so I can still carry slightly more gear than I should and get away with it.

Our last few trips I carried the GX8, 12-40mm, 7-14mm, Voigtländer 17.5mm and Voigtländer 75mm f2.5 (small, light and compact, 250g with adaptor). My girlfriend carries a GX7 with 14-140mm II. I carry an UltraPod II just in case. It's light, weighs almost nothing and doesn't get in the way. If I don't use it, big deal.

That's actually pretty similar to what I carry, except that all my friends and family are total luddites. I am the only one who carries any sort of camera or electronics -- so there's no sharing of lenses or gear.

Have a great trip to Colombia!
