Travelling on line

A Recent discussion with a worldly traveller yeilded this little gem:

"Here's my Tip for business and pleasure travellers with the ususal host of electronics power adapters and chargers.

Before Leaving
Identify all of your auto-switching power supply equipment, (leave the others behind)
Buy a cheap (and therefore lightweight) 4 port power Board (AU$3.99) that you can afford to lose or ditch if space becomes an issue on the return leg.

On arriving at the DEparting Airport
Dont Forget!
When you get to your outbound airport or destination locale buy a universal and usually ubiquitous power adapter ($15 US ) to connect the power board's 4 into one hotel/room socket.

On arrival at your Destination
Go Crazy and use all of your gear, and IF you run the batteries Flat ! DON'T PAMIC!
How will you charge all those items in the budget hotel with just one power socket behind the minibar ?

In your Hotel Room
Remember Don't Panic!
BUT do check that your adapters can handle the local power 110V/ 60Hz or 220/240 /50 HZ
Now one by one connect your New adapter to the cheap 4 Port power board you bought and
Voilla! you have plenty of capacity for phone + laptop + Blackberry +Shaver + Satellite dish +Camera + baby bottle warmer etc etc.

Even the most well equipped comunicator has to sleep ! So you're batteries will be nicely charged before your jetlag is over"
