I have the full frame, non-VR version of this lens and it is wonderful. For family and landscapes, it would work great. Bought mine from Nikon as a refurb, when it was offered for an additional discount. Still was pricey. For travel, the f/4, 24-120 VR Nikon lens (the latest version) would give a bit more versatility. I took mine to Europe last Spring and it did a great job.
I love my 18-300 for travel. It is light weight a has very for hand holding.
