Acessories and 'close up' lense v Macro

Hi All

Well now I've got my DSLR, I'm looking for accessories. I really enjoy Macro Photography but had a mini-caniption fit when I discovered how much the lenses cost . Then, in my current Digital Camera magazine I saw a feature on what to take in your travel kit and they say 'close up' lenses make a lighter alternative to Macro lenses (both in terms of luggage and the impact on your wallet! haha).

I saw some lovely examples of close up lense results on here just last night so I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice in which ones I should go for.

And I'm also looking for a wide zoom lense that can handle mainly landscapes and birds - I want to be in the position where I have to detach lenses as little as possible.

Thanks

Gaina
