There are some things that change the actual voltage and not just the prongs on the outlet. I can't remember what they are called but they are expensive and if it's just used for one hairdryer it would be cheaper to just buy a new one while you're there... or borrow. But many appliances show ON them if they would be usable with JUST the prong converter. They say Input: "100-240V" because then you know it could handle the higher voltage. But I may be wrong. I haven't been to England yet but have been planning on it and did a ton of research on that since I need my hair straightener and stuff! But latest news is that I won't even get to go (most likely) until after my fiance and I get married in 2010. But then it might not even be until 2011 that we go! Ahh. Crazy. I hope you're having fun over there and enjoying your time with Alex!
A 23 year old girl from the good old Pacific Northwest who accidentally deleted her own "About Me" section, like a doofus. It was really good too. All the right amounts of action, adventure, suspense, and a little bit of romance. Oh well. Consider it more like a choose your own adventure sort of deal now. I'll let you. :)

Oh man, the things you need to keep in mind just to go to another country. My friend fried her hair straightner in London.
