Great thread so far!

I prefer to travel as light as possible as well so this is right up my alley.

A couple of things I try to keep at hand,in addition to what is already mentioned:
Pen + small notepad
A roll of toiletpaper
Small bottle of anti-bac

Nice to have:
Padlock for locking your bag or other stuff, I use one of those TSA-approved combination locks.
Small multitool - you never know when you might it, I have a Leatherman Squirt keychain version.

Simple, but with multiple use-cases is my mantra. :)

Quick point about power adapters.

Who haven't bought those lovely adapters that come in multiple parts, cost a poo poo-load and does not convert current? This has always been my bane and I ended up buying a new one at the airport each time I traveled.

That was until I stumbled across a earlier version of this at Walmart:

The thing has been with me for the last 3 years and has worked all over the place without a hitch. Cuba, Japan, US, UK, you name it.
This version has USB, which is really nice, I think I might upgrade.
