Sounds like you have had lots of advice and listened well. So have fun on the trip. One last consideration. For $30/week you can rent the Olympus TC-14 form Lens Rentals. It is very small and light, but takes your 40-150 Pro out to 420 f4 equivalent. It does go out as much as the 100-400, but coupled with your 12-40 it is cheap insurance should your 100-400 fail. It will fit in your pocket if need be.

Thanks Phil. I already own the Olympus TC-14 extender and I will definitely bring it. Renting is not an option where I live. No one to rent from... and when there was a store doing rentals, it mostly had Canon and Nikon stuff.
