In response to Techie Question posted by lorihenry:


Computers and other devices that need to be plugged in can be tricky. I'm certainly not an expert, but I do know that I was able to plug in my Dell laptop in France, Germany, the Czech Republic, etc. using a simple adapter for European outlets. They cost around $4 at travel shops and are very basic.

My friends and I, however, were not so lucky with other devices, such as blow dryers, shavers and walkie talkies. None of them worked after plugging them into the adapter and then the European outlets.

I would suggest emailing the manufacturer of your computer or talking to an expert because replacing a blow dryer is one thing, your laptop - if it is anything like mine - is a whole different story.

I hope you have a wonderful time in Europe. Best of luck!

Bridget
