Universal World Wide Travel Charger Adapter Plug
You wouldn’t forget your phone or camera charger but make sure you bring an electrical outlet adapter so you won’t run out of battery life no matter where your adventure takes you. Southern Europe, Northern Europe, the UK and most especially Italy have different electric outlets, and this adapter works everywhere! At $3.20 this adapter is a steal compared to what you might pay at an airport. Be sure to put at least one in your carry-on. Buy 5 of them. Really.
