Sound like you had a great tour Jimmy, real jealous of you.
They say you do a trip, then look at what you did and didn't use and pack accordingly next time. I would certainly ditch the bivvi bag, ironically they are probably better for colder, wetter conditions.
It's entirely possible to pack a tent as small as a bivvy if you take out the tent poles from the compressor and strap it on the top tube instead, like this tent a flood victim wouldn't sleep in, personally I think it's better than a bivvy;
