Thoughts on a 3 lens travel kit

I would miss a macro prime and take a 24mm with me but it sounds like a nice setup Henk.

You have a "hole" between 20 and 35mm in my opinion. For me it's the range of most of my pictures in travel. During film decades I used three lenses in travel, 24, 35 and 85 mm or one a 28/105 mm. Now with my Pentax I use 16/45 or 17/70 and exceptionally 55/300. Even a 14 mm Samyang and a Pentax A 100 mm.
All my pictures of a trip in Laos were taken with 17/70 mm Sigma.
I plan to buy a 24 mm with an aperture of f2.

I do this a few times a year when I need to travel for my day job. That sounds like a good kit to me. Does it all fit in your small travel bag? I like to go lean with my Crumpler 4 Million Dollar Home and what I can fit in it.
I typically go with just the da15 and da40, but sometimes will also bring my M 100, DA L 55-300, or the Tamron 28-75 2.8 and a flash if I'm going to be taking pics at an event like a cocktail party for clients (I'm the go-to photog for the software company I work for). If I have room I'll also throw the tripod in my suitcase. Often my only photo time is at night on these trips so the tripod is almost a necessity.
But those two Limiteds come along the most. I wouldn't mind adding the da70 Limited to the small kit at some point either!

Thanks for the comments.

@Matt: I'll have a monopod with me. My tripod is not the most portable in the world.

@Michel: I also thought about the "hole" there. I'm not too concerned as I've been fine with only the 35 in the past. I could always add my M28 f3.5 with no real weight penalty.

If I had to dream up the ideal travel kit it would probably be a Kr with the 4 pancake Limiteds.

My travel kit: 21mm, 40mm, 70mm and sometimes the 100mm Macro. I can fit the pancakes in my jacket/pant's pockets. 70mm is the hardest to fit so I rides on the camera most times. I need to add the 15mm, then I will be done except possibly switching out the 70mm for the 77mm.

For a long time I used nearly the same kit:
Sigma 10-20, DA40Ltd, and DA70Ltd. Oftentimes I discovered that I would much rather have a zoom for the middle range focal lengths because sooner or later I was going to drop one of my Limiteds on the concrete or cobblestones.

I just did a trip to Puerto Rico. K20d, Sigma 10-20, Tamron 28-75 2.8, and Sigma 70-300 APO DG. I have to say this was the best 3-lens travel setup I have ever carried. 80% of the time the 28-75 fits the bill. In tight quarters such as narrow streets or in big scenics the 10-20 is perfect. For the very rare times I need to reach out there is the 70-300.

The one thing I am adding is a bean bag. For carry-on travel a tripod is usually a no-no. I keep a little gorilla pod, but with the vertical grip on the K20d and a hefty lens, there are times I just don't trust it. A simple bean bag to help me stablize the camera on a flat surface is what I need, as oftentimes indoors a long exposure is called for.

I once did a vacation with just the FA31 Limited. Last year I repeated that with a normal lens for the MFT system. I don't like to change lenses and if one is really good, I just enjoy using it.

On a recent trip I took just an FA43 and a FA 24-90. That worked pretty well. I've been thinking about the DA 18-135 for wider range and WR, plus a fast prime.

I just picked up a small gadget bag at a camera show. It has two small padded main compartments
and an outside pocket. My idea is to pick a camera body and lens from my collection and
hang them around my neck, with two other lenses in the bag on my shoulder for walk abouts.
