Voltage Converters - Don't Fry Your Appliances!

Written by Tara Pearce

Most of North and South America, repparttar

Caribbean and Japan use 110 volts at 60Hz while most European counties use 220 volts at 50Hz. This means you may need to use voltage converters to use many of your electrical appliances. Plugging a 110 volt electrical product into a 220 volt socket without a voltage converter will damage or destroy repparttar 133867

appliance.

To know if you need a power converter you should check any electrical appliance as you pack them for your trip. Each appliance will have a small rating plate which will tell you if repparttar 133868 product is single volt or dual volt (i.e. Use 110 or 220 or both). If repparttar 133869 rating plate says it is a dual volt appliance you will not need a voltage converter, however, any single volt appliance will need a travel converter.

Finding Cheap airfare is easy

Every wonder how repparttar guy next to you on repparttar 133866 plane found his cheap airfare? What you have never asked repparttar 133867 guy what he paid for his seat! This is repparttar 133868 best way to find cheap airfare when you travel let me explain:

The last time I flew to Atlanta I got one of repparttar 133869 last seats on repparttar 133870 plane. I actually surfed repparttar 133871 internet for a bit and when I seen that there were no low fares available I went right to Delta's website and got repparttar 133872 last seat. You can see this before you select repparttar 133873 flights on Delta's website. I think they call it seatpointer or something similiar.

When I got on repparttar 133874 plane I asked repparttar 133875 guy next to me what he paid and he bragged oh I got this round trip for $220.00 and he told me repparttar 133876 site which I won't name. My round trip seat cost me $178.00. Of course I didnt want to make repparttar 133877 guy feel bad so I told him I paid $275.00 and told him I booked last minute.
