Power converters
Don't assume that you can find adapters or
power converters overseas with ease. See if
you can get a multi-adapter kit - when I was
in central Europe, the adapter I had was
"kinda" right in that it had two pins to
insert into the outlet, but no spot for the
ground pin that sticks out from the socket,
which is recessed from the cup in which the
plug is inserted. Unfortunately, my adapter
was quite useless, and no electronics store
or even travel store had anything along these
lines. In the end, I got a charger for my
cellphone and was grateful that I was a guest
of a local who had a compatible voltage
laptop power supply, and a hair dryer.
