How many credit cards do you bring on a trip?

I try to minimize the number of cards, but also don't want to only bring one or two. What ends up happening is the trip planning phase has various things booked with different cards for different reasons. Then, when it's time for the trip, I find I need to bring more cards that I planned. Plus, on an upcoming trip, I'm staying at both Marriott and Hilton hotels, so that means those two cards are coming along.

I just counted and including my Charles Schwab debit/ATM card, I'm bringing eight cards!

Does anyone else end up with this many?
