Wow, Antartica also in your sights...! Now that sound like another level of travel.
Yes... the timing could not have been better for my upcoming travel. I'm quite happy with the 55-300 so I think I'll do fine with what I have with the K-5. You must get to take photos of African wildlife quite a lot? Let me know of any tips! I'm over the moon excited about the possibility. I'm a bit concerned about having enough batteries and being able to charge them every night. But, I will have 2 cameras and I know from experience that my K2000 can take a LOT of photos on 4 AA's.
