Wow. Not to hijack my own thread, but you travel a lot heavier than I do.

I carry:

Android phone (International)
Collection of SIMS
Noise isolating earbuds
Regular Earbuds
Y adapter so my gf and I can listen to the same movie
Multi-Cable
Laptop
Power brick
25' flat ethernet
15' cheap multi-outlet grounded extension cord
Ground adapter
All the cables are white so I won't trip over them. I have the cheapest (lightest) extension cord I could find. Flat ethernet packs better.When I'm overseas the ground adapter is replaced by a universal converter. I hate carrying something that big, but I know me well enough to know I would bring the wrong individual adapter. Trying to find a converter in a tiny village in the Himalayas is not something I want to repeat.

I charge my phone, gf's camera, and the gf's iStuff through the laptop. The extension cord has the multiple outlets and the power brick is the surge suppressor.

I also have a spare USB power plug and USB cable, but those get left behind if I feel like I'm taking too much crap.
