I'd go with the 24-70mm f2.8. It's perfect for portraits, for street photography and shooting indoors without speed lights in poor ambient light. Yeah, it's not going to be as wide as you'll need in some cases--that's what your phone is for. And yeah, you aren't going to be able to shoot that falcon without bringing your 600mm. Look, you want to travel light. And you don't want to be swapping lens. Go for the 24-70. Yes, there will be some shots you won't be able to get. But the solution to that problem is: bring 3 lens! Which you don't want to do.
So live with the decision--you want to travel light, that means leaving some glass at home. And trying to find a lens that "does it all" means you're going to sacrifice some sharpness probably.
