8 chewable pack of Tums
I use Boiron herb tabs and carry the following:

Arnica montana (bruises)
Chelidonium majus (indegestion)
Lycopodium clavatum (bloat)
Ipecacuanha (nausea/vomiting)

Sewing kit
Hydrocortisone
Sea to Summit Laundry line
Mattress repair kit
Clothes of course depend on weather and activities

Cold weather clothes include:

Ski jacket with removable inner down jacket and removable hood
Thick wool socks
Cold weather hiking boots
Thick wool gloves
Rain pants

Wet weather clothes include:

Rain coat and pants (the combo $20 Frogg Toggs are good for a few weeks, but sustained heavy duty rain means upgrading to rubber pants)
Waterproof boats/booties/rain wellies

Hot weather clothes include:

Lightweight pants/shorts
Lightweight dress/wrap skirt
Light blouses/tank-tops
Light shawl/scarf
(I like the shawls because they can allow you to be 'modest' in churches or appropriate venues)

Cool weather with possibility of rain clothes include:

Lightweight rain coat
Warm sweaters (one heavy, one light)
Wool socks
Waterproof spray you apply beforehand to everything

Specialty clothes

Swimsuit (I know a lot of girls do two pieces, but a one piece is 'modest' and good for areas with kids or in certain countries)

Towels (1 lightweight 'normal' and 1 compact 'backpacking' towel for beaches of public pools when you don't want to carry a big bathroom towel around)
For normal clothes I normally pack the following:

Jeans - 1 pair
Royal Robbins convertible pants/shorts - 1 pair
Pajama pants/shorts (mine double as a lightweight day pant)
Underwear for the number of days you will be gone (unless you like having it dry in the hostel)
Bras - 1/2 as many days you will be gone
Socks - Smartwool is my favorite, but whatever you are comfortable in; 1 more than the number of days for 'oops' issues.
Shirts-I prefer to layer tank-tops and sweaters

4-5 tank tops
2 sweaters (1 pullover, 1 button up)
2 sleeved shirts

Scarf
Bathrobe (for hostels only)

Cellphone, cable, plug, extra charger (10hr min capacity), converter if needed, and ear buds
Sunglasses
Purse/Backpack

Okay, a note on these. They are completely optional depending on what you are doing/where you are going.
I purchased the slashproof Travelon brands which has a mesh wire under the cloth and metal cables running through the straps. All the clips also lock down, so its really obvious if someone tries to get into it.
The purse can hold a lot and is usually all I need plus my foldable grocery bag. It has deep front and back pockets and the shallow center pocket is RFID blocking and big enough for a good sized phone/ipod/both. The back pocket has 2 smaller drop in sections and a large zippered section I normally put extra cash or toiletries in. One side of the purse has a water bottle section and the other has a velcro flap pocket for random stuff. In the US I use it for my phone, but overseas I put my grocery bag in it. It also comes with an led light clipped to the inside of the bag.
I got the backpack for school. I holds a laptop, books, pens, and lunch with no problem, but it's kind of shallow, so it isn't what I'd recommend as your clothes bag or your only bag. It's a heavier day bag than most people want, but if you are concerned about safety, it's slashproof, RFID proof, and has the same awesome clips. I ride a bike for school and this is a good dual purpose bag for me. it has a side compartment for pens and another for your water bottle. A front small zippered area for whatever (my emergency kit is in it - bandaids, etc.). Then there is an area for your wallet, school stuff, or toiletries with a shallow pocket and a deeper zippered pocket on the inside (comes with an led light attached to a clip). The main compartment has a padded computer sleeve that is non-removable. There are also several clip loops if you want to add stuff to the outside.
Neither one of these are waterproof, but the purse is pretty water resistant. Get an obnoxiously bright rain cover to pair with the bag and you won't lose it easily.

For my wallet, I have the packsafe brand. Another slashproof, RFID item. It has a wrist strap that can be clipped to the zipper or another bag or used around your wrist. Two large pockets for money and airline tickets, 3 RFID pockets that are US passport sized (the third one completely hides the passport), a see through ID holder, 5 credit card pockets, and a deep pocket behind the cc area along with a pen holder.
I put clips on all my stuff so they make noise and I can hear if someone tries to take it. That can go either way though, as it also makes people aware of you.

The lightweight version is just whatever you absolutely have to have for the number of days you are traveling. When I go to Norway for 4 days in early June, I don't need the cooking, camping, or winter weather stuff. My entire pack for that trip weighs 4 kilos. When I go to Belgium for 10 days to camp in late June, I'm bringing pretty much all of it except the cold weather gear. It just depends on your needs and what you like to do.
