Gear I don't own but can borrow:
24-105/4 IS: The funny thing is that I often recommended people of a 10-22 + 24-105 set as a great travel set. Only two lenses, great IQ and great range. However, it is a slow set, it is not stabilized below 24mm (I often used IS in the 17-24 range) and as it is a once in a lifetime trip I'm just not sure it is long enough.

This is what I would do, in order to get a small and managable pack:
7D + 10-22 + 24-105 (plus CPL (will fit both lenses), batteries and a small tripod)
the thing I would dislike a bit with this pack, is the unconvenient turnover-point at 24mm, but that is
the price for a small pack.
Another option would be just the 7D + 17-55 ... but I have doubts that 17 is wide enough ... having not
enough mm on the long end can be cured by cropping (within limits) ... the missing mm at the
wide end really hurt.
Sorry to hear the story from you job ... good luck with the next one (after the trip) ... Rainer
