fwiw if you forget, most international airports will sell the adaptors. i picked up one no trouble in atlanta a few months ago. i keep it as a spare now that i have the one i left behind in memphis back.

Some hotels will also loan you an adapter if needed. Some airports have kiosks where you can quick charge a cell phone too.

I'm going to go shopping in June and get all this stuff. right now I'm making a list

sure price was outrageous in airport. We better off buying before hand.

Ebay has good prices.

Just trying to figure out the specs that I need for a convertor for ipod video.

Be sure to read the manuals for your adaptor....last trip I took I killed my flat iron--major disaster in my world to be without one of those!

 

[lauramullen]

I'm going to check and see what exactly I need before I buy. I'm probably just going to buy online with the links that were posted to be on the safe side

Oh no don't even say that that's major tragedy for me

 

[lauramullen]

I don't desperately need my flat iron, but I do need my blow drier. I'm not sure if there is one in the hotel already.

with the currency conversion the one from the airport cost maybe a couple of dollars more than the one i got in new zealand before i left.

not bad, really.

I got a number of travel items from eBay. Once I decided what I wanted I would shop around the internet to compare prices..I usually always check EBay, Amazon, Overstock etc.

LM: check with where you are staying to see if they have a blow dryer. Most places we stayed on our trip had them in all the rooms. My friend and I made bathroom schedules making it easier and quicker for us to share small quarters....I showered at night (my hair is longer & I'd let my hair dry at night or use the blow dryer at night) and since Kelly was a morning person she'd rise real early and shower in the morning. I'd use a curling iron to touch up my hair in the morning and be ready to face the day. Kelly put a bit of gel in her short curly hair. Due to the cool humid weather she decided to forego her flat iron styling and go for the natural look. Everyone's different so decide what you want to take with you or think about this stuff in advance.

 

[lauramullen]

I'm going to email them and ask them to make sure. I don't want to pack and bring something I don't need

 

[Carek1230]

I just got a call from Ireland!!

I hate people who can just wash and go.... The blowdryer/flat iron are nessecities!

 

[lauramullen]

My hair gets so frizzy is if I don't blow dry it

me too.. grrrrrrrr

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

I can that is because I have curly hair. I may not bring my hairdryer this time because I have not used a hairdyer in months on my hair.

 

[Carek1230]

I remember using the diffuser when I was able to afford having my hair colored and permed (in my former life lol) Now I cut & color myself. But my hair is so stubborn and straight but in real humid weather it takes on a life of its own sometimes so a curling iron is all it takes to tame it a wee bit. I just hate those travel curling irons with the small therma cell butane gas cartridges. They don't get hot enough.

 

[Jdragonfly]

Curly/frizzy hair vs. Irish weather.

It may well be a losing battle. But I'll be damned not to bring the flat iron. I'm only going to wash it once while I'm there. So...

 

[lauramullen]

My hair needs to be blow dried and flat ironed, so they are definitly coming with me

 

[wojovox]

PM me when the conversation changes from Hair. I have short hair so none of this applies to me.

 

[Harley.GirlU2]

I don't know what say, my hair is... Ok with everything I'm lucky with it.

 

[lauramullen]

Mine is kind of dried out right now. I just got it stripped and dyed lighter, but I'm using deep moisterizing conditioner and it is getting better

Sorry

Back on topic. Does anyone have an idea of a place to meet up at?

Hold off a few more weeks for that conversation. Allow me to make a new thread deservingly titled "Croke Cranks" Serious inquiries only.

Then we'll get serious about the meeting and mapping out of our plan. But I do mean serious inquires only. We need each other to help one another with the "standing in line" That way, one of us could leave the line, knowing we're saving a place, and gather any goods we may need, ie. water.
