ELECTRONICS/ADAPTOR PLUGS/CONVERTERS

While in Europe, you will need plug adapters and converter plugs. You can visit most local retailers in your area and find them in the Luggage section.  Most Countries in Europe use 220 volts at 50 Hertz, rather than the 110 volts at 60 Hertz used in the United States.  Additionally, there are several styles of wall socket, each requiring a different type of plug. There is the 3-Prong version (Used in London) and the 2-Prong (round) version used by others like Italy and France. 

Tip:  If you have multiple electronics to recharge nightly, bring a couple of extra adopter plugs so you can charge multiple items at the same time.  I brought two extra plugs on this trip and it was very useful to keep both my IPOD and Camera batteries charged on a regular basis.
