Hi,
Same as Grant, I carry a small Gitzo with me all the time. The more sections the better, and they get smaller & lighter every year.
Winterbiker's bag idea is good & I've done this myself before. Works a treat. Only important thing is: get a good & sturdy ballhead if you're fuzzy about composition or use heavy (SLR) gear.
If you want something REALLY light, check this out:

Not sure if it'll take a SLR though... I wouldn't dare to try it out
