Re:English, and regular traveller (Score 1)

If you're bringing a laptop, forget the transformer and just bring a plug adapter - they cost only a couple bucks, and they're small. Then charge everything else off the USB ports. Heck, I do this for my regular domestic travel, too, just without the plug adapter. Works for everything I need on my perpetual business trips except the iron and the coffee/tea equipment, and any decent hotel provides those.
