Just pack the thing you'll have good use of. An umbrella can be useful, but settle for a compact model. Personally, I prefer bringing little clothes and have them washed along the way as opposed to packing the better part of my wardrobe. There's always the possibility of buying whatever needed en route or at your destination.
Only bring small packages of hygiene articles such as soap, shampoo and toothpaste which saves you some weight. If I'm going on a short trip, I opt to pack hygiene articles that are a quarter to half full, at the most. Again, let's not carry around any ballast.
Personally, I always bring a small amount of basic medicines and food supplements which saves me from having to run unnecessary errands. These articles are light weight and don't take up much space either.
Bon voyage!
