Nice - but to be that drunk at 3 in the afternoon to not be able to take straight pictures 
Looking good though. Did you take any of your 14 children with you?

Sorry, not at present. No new ones from Canon that I can get away with!! 
Prices of lenses may be about to rise too as the two major players in the manufacture of optical glass, Hoya and O'Hara, in Japan cannot keep their kilns going due to the power issues caused by their awful earthquake. None of the 'major' camera players will move production to alternative sites in China because the product quality from those factories just isn't up to it.
Back order lists are steadily increasing.

The range it covers is too great so it is not great at either end.
I would go for a 14 - 22 (expensive) real wide angle, or at least a 18-55, and a 70-210 or so.

Right back looking then, the one i saw was a bit over priced anyway.

When I was in SA recently I was chatting with a woman who was using the Sigma 18-200mm, and it was actually surprisingly sharp.
