I worked in industry - a high tech - for many years.

Our travel was often not planned but when it was, we often shipped tools 
/ equipment / manuals etc
by Fed EX to the hotel we were staying and it would be there when we got 
there.

Another concept to consider - drop ship it to the hotel/motel/timeshare 
and use it while there and discard.
Bring back the booty but not the dredge needed to find it.

I fly to my destination(s), and therefore I can’t take much in the way of bulky or heavy equipment.  I also never know what is going to be available in the kitchen of the house I will be staying in.
