Travel Tips
Gadget Travel Tips
1.You can plug in your notebook in business and first class on most domestic and international flights, but check whether you need a universal airline adaptor (about $180 to $300) before you board. The adaptor is really a new cord with a special plug that you use instead of your notebook's regular cord.
2. Many notebook users tend to pack a wireless mouse when travelling, but unless you're going to be sitting down at a desk for a while, leave it at home. Sitting in airport lounges or typing on your lap is easier without a mouse.
3. Rather than packing a handful of adaptors for all your gadgets, pack a powerboard with four or five outlets and just one adaptor.
4. Mobile phones operate on different frequencies in different countries. Check if your phone will work in the country you are visiting at www.gsmworld.com/roaming.
A quad-band phone will work on the four main GSM frequencies and is your best bet if you travel all over the place.However, a GSM phone will not work on a 3G network - you'll need a dedicated 3G handset.
5. If ironing your clothes at the other end seems like way too much trouble, think about a portable clothes steamer (about $60 from www.gogogear.com.au). Less effort than ironing with similar results."
