I got the same kit as you a few months ago. I sold my kit lens and picked up a 24-105mm f4 IS L. It's a great lens that will cover most uses including general purpose, walkaround vacation/travel, and some portraiture. The image stabilizer is a nice feature, but there are some minor downsides.
Since you're on a crop-frame, 22mm on the wide end is never really wide enough compared to what you had on the kit lens at 18mm. And, f4 aperture might limit you in low-light or indoor situations. I've found that it's a great lens with good contrast and sharpness, but if you're serious about plunking money down on L glass, you'll probably end up buying more lenses to cover the wide and telephoto focal lengths.
