Camera bag for travel?

Well what, exactly, do you want it to carry?

I have 3 different travel bags for different travel situations. Is it for a family vacation, or is it a photo-priority trip? Do you need to carry your entire kit, or just a body and one or two lenses?

What two lenses? I'd be dubious if they were like the 18-55 and 55-200; totally opposed to it if either were any bigger.

50-200mm Lens and 18-55mm SLR Lens

People must be sick of me recommending this bag, but for light kit and couple of lenses and traveling you can't go past it, also it works well if you want to use it as a sling strap as well.

(what the video doesn't show, is there are 2 additional large pockets, one on the front (full length under the tripod flap) and another one on the side of the camera compartment (3/4 length of the compartment).

What is your definition of easy to carry?

Reading this and wishing I could help. But I don't know what your expectation is.
Ask 4 photographers what you should carry, and you'll get at least 5 answers.

Do you want a bag that's easy to shoot out of? (Shooter's Bag)
Do you want a bag that keeps your equipment safe and dry? (Shipping Trunk at the extreme)

How much do you want to spend?

Shooter's Bag Domke F3x
Shipping Trunk (probably unfair) LowePro Stealth Reporter series, all weather bags

Have both and the Domke is easier to carry.

Think Thank Retrospective 10 would fit all that perfectly and be nice to travel with.

Another alternative if you want a backpack is the new Loka from F-stop gear.

Vivian, I travel by car or plane, and I have 20 bags, so I don't have to agonize over it. I take what I need. Did you want a comfy bag to take your gear so you don't have to take anything else around while touring, or just one to travel from A to B with? For the gear list you have, the most comfy bag I have for a camera and 2 lenses is the Domke 5XC, but if you want a good cheaper sling bag, I just got the Lowepro Passport and that will take the camera and lens, and the longer lens can fit in a cloth on the other side of the insert. But it fits all the stuff you'd put in a carry around bag. Not very expensive $54.
