Do you often come to a new island and get in trouble with your electricity plugs for your electric gadgets and tools?

How many times have you had to buy a new set of electricity plug adapters and converters for not being without your usual electrical appliances in another country?

At least I have had that trouble a number of times, mainly for my rather broad arsenal of digital cameras and devices, and sometimes also for the computer. – It is always more than inconvenient.

The international hotels will often have special international standard options in the hotel room, but smaller nice local resorts might not have that. In fact quite often I have been surprised to realize that many vacation destinations are having a rather narrow home brewed stock of guests that are accepting the situation as is.

You have two options to avoid getting in trouble with your electricity plugs:
1. Bring a number of different adaptors with you from home – or as emergency deals in the airport.

Or

2. Know exactly what is needed in your next vacation destination from home so you can bring exactly what you need.

It helps you with how the electricity plug should look like or  the adapter should be, and how the electric currency is at the local country or territory. Below under the many plug drawings you will find the list of the countries with the letters referring to the correct electricity plug to use in that specific country and information about the electricity currency of the country.
