On Vacation..Suggest some home exercises

Hello,
I am going to home country for one month. Can someone suggest a routine (bodyweight exercises) which I can do in home.
Do I lose existing muscle by doing only bodyweight exercises for this one month period?

Thanks

Thanks BossMan.

Apart from your suggestions, does the diet plan looks good? I am thinking that the last meal doesn't have enough proteins.

Also, where should I add the fruit option (if needed) ?

I forgot to add Tea at 6:30 PM. I am getting healthy fats or do I need to add almonds/fish oil capsules in diet plan?

Also not sure of getting enough proteins in the last meal. So I added low fat yogurt over there.
