Depends on if you are going to be mostly out in the country or mostly in narrow city streets. Assuming country, I would go with the 24, 50, 100, and a 1.4 or 1.7 extender. Assuming city, I would go 24, 35, 50, 85, and a 2x for the occasional long shot. Part of my reasoning is that I seldom use a macro except out in the "wilds", and like the 85 so much that I would opt for that always if I thought that I probably would not need the macro.
I might carry the 28-70, but would probably leave it at home in the "to-be-sold-on-eBay-someday-real-soon-now box". Enjoy the trip!
