Al is on the money there, while you're fiddling around changing lenses, chances are your shot will be gone, I learned the hard way on a trip many years ago. I had 3 fixed focus lenses and my mates all had zooms. They took many more and better shots than I could manage, many of them while I was fumbling changing lenses, better because they could select optimal focal lengths.

That said, if it were me going to the expense of travelling to Europe, I'd be putting my hand in pocket and buying either a decent compact digital or a DSLR.
