HDR allows a photographer to capture a scene the way he or she wants. It does not affect the integrity of the photograph any more then the original photography sepia tones does. Or affect the integrity of Ansel Adams processing does to his photographs. It is not any less natural than a black and white photograph is to the original full color scene. Or any less natural then adjusting aperture to provide bokeh.
The 18-270 Tamron is excellent for 90% of the travel photos I take with my Nikon. I prefer the smaller Sony NEX-7 for travel with the Tamron 18-200 for most of my photos. For dark inside shots or crowded streets shots I will change to the 16mm F2.8 pancake lens. I hardly ever change lenses.
Go light. One camera with a big aperture wide angle and a good zoom. Better yet an 18-200mm. Get a tour guide who will take you to as many of the best spots for pictures quickly and safely. The Russian people will appreciate your visit. They know that you have as little to do with the Ukraine as they do.

"Warmer and cooler in photography describe color, not temperature."
4500k is a cooler temp but a warmer color.
Death Valley, a 2 hr drive away and Mt Charleston less than an hour from the strip. Grand Canyon, a short helicopter ride.
Very nice. Unnerving? Go to the Grand Canyon Skywalk!
You can send pics from the camera to a compatible computer, tablet, cell phone...
