The D90 is a wonderful body. The problem with the D5000 is if you play with Aperture, ISO, shutterspeed (I shoot almost always in manual), you'll have to spend your time in the menu. Those settings can be change right on the body with the D90.
As for your choice of lens, like most people, i tend to go wide for lanscape but I also have a few shots like this one that were taken with my telephoto.

There is a good article about this right here:

My point is I'm affraid you'll want more flexibility and you will you end up disapointed with this setting. Give yourself the chance to experiment. I would buy the 18-105 VR kit and wait a couple month for a prime. Rome wasn't build in one day...
