Unhappy Help for Lens choice..

I know I've left it a little late to asking this question, but on Sunday 8th May, I am going to Bali for 12days, can I get your opinion on what is the best lens to take with me, (my husband wanted me to take my little point and shoot, but Im taking my Nikon DSLR D70) I have 18-55 and 55-200 lens, (I recently bought both lens, and havent really used the 55-200 at all, so havent had much experience with it)I really dont want to take both, but not sure what lens would work out best..
I dont normally take scenery pics, but probably will take a couple of those, especially of the tiered rice paddies.. I hope Im going to get alot of shots of my DH and I just enjoying ourselves...

Help....

We have just returned from Bali but sorry can't advise on lens. My shots are basically all scenery and I used 35mm most often. (I only have a few shots of the girls and there is one of me with around another 1000 scenery etc.)

The weather is gorgeous now with only a little rain. And the food of course is fantastic. Have a wonderful time!

No advice on lens, but can I come too?!! I currently have my travel agent quoting on a trip to the tropics for July!!
My gut feeling is that if you are going to be busy and want to travel light and you haven't used that lens much, leave it at home. But if you want to take this opportunity to play with it, take it!
