It sounds like when you had the incident when the condom slipped off that you did not ejaculate, am I right? And so all that might have been inside it was some pre-ejaculate?
From the way you explain it, I don't think that you should be too worried. First of all, she's got an irregular cycle. Second, the amount of stress she's under definitely can cause a period to go late (or even be skipped) due to how the stress hormones affect our regular hormones. And third, you mention that the episode was "a few weeks ago," which sounds to me that it was longer ago than she would have been ovulating.
One can never know for sure, of course. And I'm sure this is hard on both of you. While there is a small chance that some of the pre-ejaculate escaped and could cause a pregnancy, it sounds like it's a very small chance. My advice would be for your girlfriend to try to decrease her stress (traveling doesn't help, I know) and not focus on this so much. I know how much easier that is to say than to do, but it will help. Tell her to enjoy her vacation and to relax, and breathe. I'm betting that your minds are getting the best of you and that her period will arrive sometime in the next week or so.
