First of all: sorry to hear about your job, Yakim, but on the other hand honestly jealous of the opportunity you're given now <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

I'm more of a tele guy, so I'm afraid I can not offer much advice regarding lenses. However, just for the record: I'd probably take something like 15-85 IS plus 55-250 IS, combined with two fast primes. Either 24L or 35L and most certainly the 100L IS.
I can understand you're going to leave the Gitzo at home, even though it's already rather small. Bean bags are no alternative, I'm afraid. At least I haven't found one yet that is small and portable and at the same time offers enough stability for a DSLR.
For traveling, I now use a very small Leica table tripod with a RRS BH-25 ball head. Folds flat and small enough to require only little space in the bag, but offers quite some stability ... if you can find something high enough to rest it on.
Burning DVDs to send them home sounds like a very good idea for backups.
