Imagine the following 3 scenarios:
A. A player catches a pass when he is in the air, lands on his left foot only, pauses, looks around, takes a drink, then put his right foot down.
B. A player catches a pass when he is in the air, lands on his left foot only, pauses, looks around, takes a drink, then "jumps" and lands on his right foot only.
C. A player catches a pass when he is in the air, lands on his left foot only, pauses, looks around, takes a drink, then "jumps" and lands on both feet.
None of these plays is a travel. All are covered perfectly by the rules.

I think B is a travel.
The only rule that allows a player to catch-land-jump-land requires that the final landing be on both feet simultaneously. All other parts specify a single landing. A layup is a single landing....catch-land-step-shoot...and both feet may be briefly off the floor.
