Also get at least one extra battery, if you don't have one. I never bother with Canon-branded batteries. I've had great results with cheap batteries I've bought on eBay and the third-party batteries sold by B&H and Adorama.
At some point, you might also consider a wider lens, like the 18-55m IS lens that now comes with a lot of Canon consumer DSLRs, if you don't already have it. It's actually a pretty good lens, far better than the original 18-55mm that I got with my used 30D.
