I would go with the 18-135 and then pick up a 55-300WR when you can. These two lenses are my standard walk-around/adventure kit. The 18-135 is outstanding for the money and it's dirt cheap now. The 55-300 is decent but you shouldn't need that much reach unless you are taking really distant photos. Now, there are better options but it depends on your budget. I think you can get the 18-135 and the 55-300 WR both for around $500. Perhaps check the classifieds. As far as other options, the 16-85 gets great reviews and is on my list if my 18-135 ever dies. If you can afford it, you might look at that lens paired with the 55-300. Again, it comes down to budget restrictions and usage needs.
Bottom line, I'd take the 18-135 over the 18-55 any day.
