I have this Sigma, but honestly don't know if that would be my single lens on vacation? And since you're on D7000, I only can say, focussing on D7000 is not a skill I already have, maybe I could learn it, but am using more the D7100.

 

When I'm on vacation I take an FX body with me, when going alone and taking photos is a main reason and I'm not limited by time. Otherwise, I travel light and have an old Canon G11 with me. It's swivel screen and "optical viewfinder" help me a lot. The optical viewfinder is a joke, but looking on a display in bright sunlight is also a joke - a worse one, too.

 

The already mentioned 17-70 Sigma or the 16-85 would also be my input. The Sigma I don't know, the Nikkor performs well, it's non-turning focusring is an advantage to the Sigma, plus the larger range. Other side, Sigma has Macro and is faster and has a more modern vibration reduction. Although I would not dare to compare those. Today I would go for the Sigma, although I don't think it is very important to adjust it by the USB-dock. But it's a nice feature and on the long end it's nearly one stop faster than the Nikkor. For some reason I stay away from superzooms as well as kit-lenses from Nikon but that is not fact-based.
