I'm going to France and Italy next week and need to know that I have everything I need to be able to charge my iPad and Galaxy SIII. What do I need besides what I use at home? My flat iron will only need the plug-in adaptor because it is dual voltage.
Please help !

With modern electronics you only need an adapter for the outlet plugs....
Not a converter. Just make sure you have the correct adapter for each country (usually just the 2 prong kind works in EU countries)

Susan - read the responses under Adapter vs Converter - just below - it is answering exactly the same question. Always read the plug input to double check your requirements.
