I've gotten so used to electronics that can handle 110-220, I accidentally shorted out a heating pad on my last trip to Europe. I was ready to get snappy with the hotel room for not having outlets that worked, until I smelled the burning.
Nobody can tell Marmaduke what to do. That's my kind of dog.

Use the money to buy a cheap curling iron in Europe. As others have said, iPad and phone chargers are dual voltage, so they only need the adapter.

The cup might get a dual voltage one, which would solve the issue I suppose

Yep, Vortex, I would recommend buying a USB charger from amazon that comes with different outlet plug things, it's worked great for me--I have one with four USB ports (two that are strong enough for the iPad, two that aren't) and a bunch of changeable plugs.
that's the one I got that seems to no longer be available, so one like this?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
At least they're keeping the Mustang.

I thought about making a Firefox extension to make the 'New Tab' page use my links URL, but I didn't really have the time. Turns out more than one already exists so I have a shiny new 'New Tab' page.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh cool, Gud.
