Default Overseas Travel Needs

Do we need an electrical outlet plug? Where do we get the "best" travel document, holder? How much cash do we need, we are goint to holland and sweden. I read that Sweden you need a coin to get into the bathroom??? Should we convert here or there.? we will use credit card for must things.

Better to have and not need than to need and not have. When we were in Ireland some places had them others did not. We got our travel document holder on Amazon

We invested in a travel power strip. Most places don’t have enough outlets to charge all of our toys.

Most places in Europe need them.

Magellan's and Travelsmith have lots of holders, etc.

A plug adapter does not convert voltage. Most appliances today will work on 110V or 220V. Just make sure that anything you take with you has a label verifying that. It should say something like "100-240V, 50/60 Hz" on it.
