For your walk around lens, have a look at the Canon 28-135mm ($420) http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details&Q=&sku=149629&is=USA&addedTroughType=search
and the Canon 17-85mm ($510) http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details&Q=&sku=351548&is=USA&addedTroughType=search
Both are noticibly better than the 18-55. Depending on what end of the zoom is more important to you, either one should do nicely until you win the lottery and buy that 24-105mm L.

The Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens and the Canon EF 28-135mm f3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens are, according to the review, good quality lenses.
Good luck in finding the right lens.
