The 24-105 is my general purpose travel lens. The 70-200 f4 IS is secondary/optional if you think you'd need it. A 12, 20, or 24 mm extension tube weighs very little and will give you more macro ability with either lens. Other lenses are nice, but unless you have a specific purpose for it or just want to buy it well, ...
The first rule of traveling light is making sure everything you bring serves a necessary purpose.
That said, my 2nd lens is a 100-400 with 1.4x because, if I need more than 100, I probably need more than 200. But mind, I feel it on my back and hassling airline carry-on weight restrictions.

This is another macro option, but, you can get a 58 mm 500D and 67 to 58 step down ring for cheaper and lighter. Works very well with out vignetting on the 70-200 f4.
