Make it Work

continuing from "Electricity Abroad and Technology Abroad" - Part 3 - By Elizabeth Gregory

What do I need to bring to make it all work?
For most electrical appliances, you will need an adapter (to make the plug fit into the holes of where you're going) and in some cases a power converter. These items can be purchased at any luggage store usually in a set that will cover the world for you. I've also seen them at Target, Kmart, etc.

When in doubt, check your user's manual or contact the manufacturer for information and suggestions on using your appliance overseas.

Bring your own batteries if you need them for digital cameras, travel alarm clocks, etc. Normally there is a wider variety of batteries available that are also cheaper here in the US.

Consult with past travelers and the internet for all the expert advice you need.
