[Idyllchat] charging batteries, hairdryers in Czech/Hungary

[Russ Crum]

Check the  nameplate on your charger (or hairdryer) to see if it is  
rated for both 120 and 240 volt power. If so, then you only issue is  
the plug adapter. Be aware that you may have to switch between the  
voltages.

When we were in Prague, as I recall our regular two prong Europe  
adapter worked fine.

Depending on the length of your trip, you might consider what we did  
on our last two Europe trips. I purchased an extra set of  
rechargeable batteries (AA size in my case). Two sets fully charged  
got us through three weeks just fine and the extra set of batteries  
took much less space in our suitcase than the battery charger.
