I've traveled/hiked cities and the great outdoors with the k7 + full complement of lenses, and also done it with only a GR. IMHO:
1. Wide is more important than long.
2. Weight is not an issue, but bulk can be.
3. The crop-ability of a 16mp sensor and a really sharp lens is stunning.
With this said I am completely happy traveling with the GR only. Even when I do make a 15+" print at 100% crop, I still get all the detail and sharpness I could ever ask for.
Go for wide and sharp, the bulk of any of the lenses you mention on a K5 body will be so close it will not matter. Weight will also be close enough to be of little concern.
Oh...if you prefer available light and like shallow dof, consider a fast prime as a second lens. This is the one item I routinely miss when I travel with only the GR.
