No Bill P, I must disagree with you: Guinness is perfectly delightful
to drink when the weather is hot. And it is perfectly delightful to
drink when the weather is cold, or wet or..... ;-)
Seriously, I have not tasted Guinness as nice as it was in Ireland; it
takes a while to pour a pint, but it is worth the wait.
I agree with you about the minimal kit for travel. If I travelled with
one of my rangefinders alone, how much would I miss the lack of
close-up(<0.5m) or telephoto (>90mm) facilities? At our impending
London Zuikoholics meeting with Bill B, I shall bring an OM4, 21,
50-250 and Contax G1 with 35/2 (for mono stuff).

Bill Barber,
You're nuts. Or at the very least, in a lot better shape than me! As a

Remember, this is a vacation. I've traveled with this outfit alone
(substitute 85 for 90, one body) and been just fine. I did Lisbon and
Barcelona with OM/21/28-48 and an Xpan wth 45/90, and hardly used the
21.
Shots were, if anything, better. Did one of my Florence trips with
just the
Xpan/45/90 (don't hate me), and got some great results.
Enjoy the trip, especially the adult beverages the Irish are so famous
for,
except, in cases of unusual hot weather, the very dark beer.
