Today’s Shopping Tip - Shopping While on Vacation
If you are vacationing in a spot where your plug-in gadgets require a special adapter, I highly advise simply buying a gadget that will work in that particular country. On a previous trip to England, I packed the adapter that was supposed to protect my hair dryer, but instead completely ruined it. On this vacation, I decided to by a 5 pound blower brush to dry and straighten my hair. If the hair dryer was complete garbage, it would only have set me back about $10.00. Surprisingly, it did a better job than the one that I left at home. So, that’s today’s tip. Buy the lowest priced gadget and keep your fingers crossed that it works. You might be pleasantly surprised.
*I have just unpacked and my English hair dryer is now sitting in my closet for the next time we go on vacation. Next time, I just might invest in an English flat iron! I hate curly bangs!

Same thing happened to my mom with her adapter. She bought a UK dryer and now I can borrow it for my trips too! :-) Far cheaper than trying to get one from a travel website or catalog!
