I have a 70-300 f4.5-5.6 AFS G VR and I use it on holiday. It is an excellent lens.
Agreed. It's a useful lens but I wouldn't add a teleconverter to it! Works well on DX to give 450mm though.
The whole question of which lenses to take with you on holiday is a nightmare...it's worse than selecting clothes.
I am coming to the conclusion that 300mm is as big as you ever need to carry around. And establishing the lightest package to achieve (say) 18-300 with acceptable quality is my current goal.
I could imagine an 18-105 with the 70-300 and a D500 might fit the bill, with the added advantage that the D500 would couple with longer, perhaps better, lenses on specific excursions. I only have the 70-300 of that trio.
However the Fuji X system in my bag, covers 18-400. I just need to finally decide if that system is 'right' for me....watch this space.
