Thanks or all the great replies, I think I'll leave the macro. And the knee pad suggestion is great! I am planning on taking a stereo camera, a waterproof, and a smallish backup bridge type. My A77 has built in gps, which I've found indispensible when travelling, so another great suggestion! Any one wish they had brought tripod? I have a Joby which is compact and not at all heavy though I've never found I wanted a tripod when travelling...
For MP a tripod is not needed; haven't yet been to Galapagos. To take the bus to MP (or anywhere) in the dark, a small flashlight or headlamp (
for $20) is useful, and I second the knee pads.
