So first, thanks for all of your responses. I did last night play with the lens and settings. I switched from Auto-focus to manual and back again. I also switched from stabilization off and on again. After this maneuver I was able to take several shots without failure. I don't know if this is a permanent fix or not but maybe I can get through the trip.
Anyway thanks again!

I'm glad you revived it (hopefully) long enough to continue your trip. I love that lens. Cheers.

Thank you!, I love that lens also. The crazy thing is It works from 105mm down to about 80mm then it craps out. I looked up a new ribbon cable, they run about $40+/-. I may just give it a try myself.

Is this the 24-105mm L first edition? It has a ribbon cable connector that can go bad, a known issue.
Yes I had this issue with mine. I had it fixed by a local camera repair service. Wasn't very expensive. But it's not something you can do yourself - unless you're a camera repairman!

DebAnn, thank you! I am going to check locally for a repair estimate. Other than that I've been a optical/mechanical engineer for the last 20 years, so not too afraid of this mechanism.
