Perchotte's Thoughts

Travelling with electronics can be tricky business when it comes to what adapters and converters to pack. If you'll be going abroad and your electrical appliances have 3 pins, they're "grounded", so be sure to take a grounded adapter plug. Grounded receptacles, or 3-pin outlets, are more common in Canada and the US than anywhere else in the world so you may not always be able to find a grounded receptacle.
