What are often-forgot, under-rated, or otherwise extremely useful things to bring along with you when you travel?  Bonus points to things that are both useful and small/light.  I'll start the list off here:

• Earplugs (which I forgot to bring with me).  Useful for sleeping through road noise, snoring, or other noises you can hear through walls and windows.
• Compass (the magnetic kind, not the circle-drawing kind).  Useful since many maps aren't all that precise or accurate.  Lets you know you're still going in the right direction if you haven't arrived at a place yet.  Also good for making sure that taxis aren't driving in circles.
