The 35-70/3.6 weighs 400g
The 35-105/3.5-4.5 weighs 470g
It really depends upon what else you carry. If you like telephoto shots
you will probably be carrying a telephoto zoom such as the 65-200/4 or a
couple prime telephotos in which case the added reach of the 35-105 is
duplicated. I often carry overlapping zooms to minimize lens swapping
though.
If you aren't going to carry any longer lenses than the zoom, probably
the 35-105 with its 50% more reach would be useful.

Have a good holiday. I should take the shorter lens. It will be
lighter, you are more likely to carry it, you can walk closer to your
subject if necessary and it is slightly faster and sharper.
