I would say get a 18-200mm lens. A good lens to start with. For you to experiment with different styles of shooting.

Good for travelling too.

Buy 18-85 IS is more suitable for the one who first time own DLSR
I think you need the IS function to take sharp photo and it's easy to store and more convenience during travelling
outstation.

The Sigma AF 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC OS has Optical Stabilizer which is a similar technology to IS.

It's a better traveling range as it fits wideangle and telephoto.

My vote goes to body + 18-200mm Sigma OS
