The general consensus was that a 35mm lens isn't all that different from a 50, and that a 24mm is very tricky to use. One person said he had a problem with his lens hood showing up around the edges when he used his 24. He couldn't find a hood big enough to get out of the way! All agreed that a 28mm lens is the "standard" wide-angle, and is the one I should consider, unless I want some special effects (such as fish-eye, etc.). So, I thank you all, and I'm going to go out and get a 28mm before I head West on vacation. Thanks again, John Opalko
