Vacation - What lens to bring

Hi folks. Please remember I'm new to this and still learning I'm going to Riviera Maya, Mexico this weekend and would like to ask the experts here on which lens would be useful and worthy to bring. I'd probably like to bring a couple of lenses to keep the weight light. I know I'll mostly shoot my family, nature and landscapes. Thanks in advance.
my lenses
50mm 1.8
18-55 kit lens
55-250 kit lens
28-135 IS USM

I say
50mm 1.8
28-135 IS USM

Is the 18-55 version 1?

18-55 IS. I say version 1 with the silver stripe. I notice the version 2 that came with the T3 is all black. sorry i wasn't specific.

I'd say bring the 18-55 and the 55-250.

Bring everything but the 28-135 as that is covered by the other lenses. 18-55 for landscapes and general shooting. 50mm for late evening when the light drops, 55-250 if you think you will see any interesting wildlife or to catch any fun activities. Those are really light lenses, so all 3 should be easy to pack. At least bring the 18-55 and 50mm because you will definitely find yourself needing wide and low light shots.

+1.

I just got back from Puerto Vallarta and had no problem with focal lengths similar to this (24-105L, 70-300L and Nifty Fifty).

I actually hardly used the 70-300 with the exception of a dozen shots. The 24-105 was on 90% of the time and the 50 5% of the time.

just like other posters said...bring all of 'em and have a good time.

Bring them all and experiment, it's a great time to fool around with them and know what to take next time.

Mexico has people, buildings, streetscapes, landscapes, tourist attractions - probably very similar things to what is in the area where you usually photograph.
The same stuff - just a different country.
Take what you'd normally use.

All except the 28-135. Those are all plastic and light weight, and will cover any type of shooting you encounter.

+1 for 28-135mm. I'd even grab a 18-270mm or something in that range. And I'd also find a fast prime useful for those evening walks along the beach.

thank you! i'll make sure to post some pictures for C&C
