I am guessing that you might be shooting full frame...
I shoot 1.6x and my standard travel set up is the 17-55mm f/2.8 IS and 70-200mm f/4L IS lenses on two bodies.
I couldn't get by without my long lens. I love it for isolating subjects and for compressing distances. And the reason I opted for the 70-200mm f/4L IS instead of the 70-200mm f/2.8 IS lens is that I can carry this lens everywhere. The f/2.8 version is too heavy.
I also have a 12-24mm Tokina and a 24-70mm f/2.8L which I used to carry along with the 70-200mm f/4L IS on three bodies. By substituting the 17-55mm for BOTH the 12-24mm and 24-70mm lenses, I save a LOT of weight.
