Passport if you are going abroad, travellers cheques/money, hair bands (if female!), camera, telephone numbers of next of kin for all parties on your trip, toothbrush because it is always the last thing you do before leaving and you always put it back in the holder if you are anything like me! Batteries, shaving foam, shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, flannel, towels, clothes, swimming costumes (one wet, one dry), first aid kit and most importantly, YOURSELF! Have a good one!
