Visiting Dublin
Hello,
I'm visiting Dublin in November. I will be bringing my laptop and camera (Canon EOS 40D) with me. I've got the following equipment for the camera:
1) Speedlite 580 EX II flash
2) EF 70-300mm IS USM telephoto
3) EF 24-105 L IS USM
Outside of the grip, I was just thinking of bringing the 24-105 lens with me. Any thoughts? I certainly won't be pursuing any wildlife shots and figure the 24-105 will be good for countryside and urban shots.
Should I bring the flash at all?
I'm planning on keeping the camera body in the backpack with my laptop that I carry on board with me and will pack the lens in my check luggage wrapped up inside clothes to keep it from being dinged up.
Thoughts?

I agree with your lens choice. My 70-300 almost never goes with me anywhere anymore.
I would be hesitant to check your glass. Will it not also fit in your backpack?
As for your flash, if you normally use it (or are planning on taking very specific images that will require a flash) then bring it; otherwise I would leave it at home.
