I would also recommend the 70-300L as an ideal partner to the 24-70. In fact this is my most used lens combo and seems to cover all I need for travelling. I also keep a Kenko x1.4 TC in the bag and that adds a bit more reach, without having losing too much IQ.

The 70-300L is very small and light compared to the 70-200 and 100-400, much more suited to traveling IMO.Sharpenss wise it's better than my 70-200 f/4 IS, and the newer IS seems to be very efficient. It's easy to get 1/30 shots at 300mm with this lens.
