You are all overwhelming! I did laugh at Mari's comment!

The bulk of my luggage is a large canvas bag with two boxes of 48 Terry Ludwig pastels. They are a set predominatly of darks and another of midrange skin tones. I met him online and he has mentored me in the joy of SOFT pastel. I have a prize set of 10 caput mortuum grey we mixed together in his studio in Denver. Additionly I carry the box of prize scraps from a 30 year old set of Grumbachers... YES, GRUMBACHER pastels. Some of the colors are so dear to me I don't even use them, just carry them around to try to match them!
And a wooden two drawer tray of hard pastels - or should I say hard pastel crumbs. Nupastel, Holbein, Cretacolor. I love them on paper but this new suede board obsession of mine leaves me only needing a few for blending.

I look like a three ring circus, but I really don't use many colors. Just over-cautious.
