I was a reapplicant this past year, and I just got my acceptance letter from one allopathic med school and am waiting for (hopefully) two more. In essence, I took off two years between college and med school. My advice to you, and to others out there, is to not worry too much about what specifically to do --don't feel like you have to follow the usual degree-seeking or research route. What admissions committees want to see is that you've matured, and that you've done something worth talking about. I worked in a social-service job for one year and traveled and lived in 6 different countries this past year. That gave me something to talk about during interviews!
