Power Trip
Posted on June 12, 2008
In my Medjet eNewsletter I recently touched on taking a power strip with you when you travel but would like to visit the subject again here in the blog for two reasons. First, I think it is a brilliant idea that one of our Medjet members shared some time back. Secondly, my good friend Johnny Jet just gave another great idea for power strips regarding international travel that I never thought of.
So why take along a power strip in your carry-on bag? What are all these great ideas? For one thing, when you’re sitting at the airport and you cannot find an available outlet. If you have a power strip in your carry-on you can at least have the opportunity to politely ask the traveler connected to the one and only outlet in the terminal if you can plug in your power strip and share the precious electricity. But Johnny’s idea has proven the best so far.
Johnny suggests taking a power strip on international trips. That way you can plug the strip into one adaptor/converter then you have an entire row of plugs for your cell phone, camera battery, iPod – whatever you need. And let me tell you, the first time you do it you will never travel abroad without one again. At Johnny’s advice, I took one on my recent trip to Greece and it was a life-saver. I just have one thing to add to Johnny’s tip and that is make sure that your adaptor or converter accommodates the three prong plug on your power strip. If it doesn’t accommodate a ground prong then you will need to take an additional ground adaptor that converts your strip’s plug from three prongs to two.
