Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can't see where it keeps its brain.

Well, I bought a plug converter for my electronics from Wal-Mart for $10. It turns out that it didn't convert voltage, just the plug. The US runs on 110 volts while the UK runs on 220 volts. So, without the voltage converter I would be frying all my stuff, so I took it back.

I then went to Best Buy and found one that converts voltage... but it didn't say how many watts it could handle, so I returned that one too.

Then I looked at Wal-Mart again and they had one for $20. It has two different settings. One for lower voltage items like electric razors and another for higher voltage items like hair driers. It goes up to 100 something watts, and my laptop uses 65, so it should be okay.

Here's what a converter looks like, it's in the UK setting:





With any luck I won't short circuit the hotels .....
