    I'm going to the UK in a couple of months, and the state of power seems
    to be changing for the better.

    Last time I went to Europe/UK, I focused on trying to find switchable
    power supplies (devices that could handle 110-240VAC) and using plug
    adapters. It was all well and good until I plugged a hair dryer that I
    thought was 110/240 into an Italian wall outlet and it briefly ran at
    twice the speed/heat it should have. Surprisingly, it survives to this
    day.

    Doing some poking around on Amazon, I found an adapter that's a 2000w
    step down device with 2 110VAC US plugs and a couple of USB ports on
    it - very cool!

    Most of what I'm going to bring is USB-chargeable this time around. It
    should make things easier.
