Depends on the trip.

Our big 11 day road trip this summer I took a ton of stuff... camera, lenses, charger, laptop, card reader, etc. I knew I would be taking a ton of photos and wanted to download them each day into separate folders so I could make sense of it all once we got home and I started scrapping. My daughter and I also did travel journal smash books throughout the trip, so I had a bag of those supplies as well (including an instax printer).

My daughter's dance trip to Myrtle Beach, I just took my camera stuff.

When we go to our house in Michigan, I take everything... because I have lots of downtime to scrap. We're in Michigan now and I've completed six PL pages since yesterday.
 
Oh Dalis - I have had so many fights with DH on this! Thankfully I've won them all ! Lol :) I take my laptop n charger n hard drive - Yep... The works . First time we did this ... We had a bad fight .... And I took the laptop ... But realised after landing that I've forgotten the charger .... So it was an anti climax! :)
 
Just my camera + charger usually. The kids are too little to be able to entertain themselves. I imagine when they hit preteen/teen age and we're doing lake house/easy no-schedule trips that I would bring my stuff and have time to scrap.
 
We went camping this weekend - i took my brand new journal that i will be turning into my 2015 art journal with me, along with a paintbrush and modpodge. i spent an hour or two each day getting my pages ready :)

usually, i take journal cards and my calendar and page protectors with me and go back and catch up on pl by picking what photos i want to print when i get home, and journaling what happened those weeks. (this also works for planning regular pages - i usually come back with a list of pages i want to do!)
 
Camera, laptop and iPad usually. Hockey tournaments just the iPad.
 
just my camera and charger. I've never planned a relaxing trip where there would be down time to scrap...it's always a go go go, see tons of things and people, busy every minute of a day type of trips. I do think I'll bring a journal next time though. I saw friends doing it when we went to Europe. Since then I've taken many vacations, but still forget the journal. I'll remember next trip!
 
I never go anywhere long-term without my laptop, whether I think I will have time to scrap or not. I can't even fathom forgetting it, or arguing about it! I'm absolutely certain DH would never go for a computer-free vacation. Even when we went on a cruise and had no internet for days, we took laptops. I guess we are just nerds. And I never go anywhere at all, except to bed and the shower, without my camera! lol So honestly I never really have to think about it. I'm always prepared. If we're going to the U.S. or UK then I need a plug converter, I guess.
 
I always travel with an over abundant supply of electronics. Camera, laptop, iPad, phone, Chargers for all. I stop short of a portable printer but I don't print much at home either, so. ..
 
I used to take my laptop and all the works so I could scrapbook but then I realized I was spending time scrapping that I should be spending with my family so now when we go out of town for anything, it all stays behind. I do take my camera to take pictures but I do not work on any scrapbooking.
 
Camera & Chargers for the longer vacations. Laptop comes for shorter or closer vacations. :)
 
I never have time to scrap on our vacations so I just take my camera. I used to always take a wirebound journal too, but now I just email myself each night of a vacation to keep track of more of the details of each day.
 
I take my camera and usually a notebook or journal so I can remember things! Sometime I bring along my laptop, but I usually don't scrap while I'm away.
 
camera/charger- I always travel with my hand written diary (I drew a lot last year too)
and most of the time collect stuff for pages like tickets, lugagge tags and all...
 
I always take my camera and charger. I generally have a computer along too. If I'm travelling for work I have my laptop, if travelling as a family, dh has his laptop so he can log in to work if they need him (he's a techy). It has come in handy more than once when we filled all our photo memory cards!
