I have found after a...

Submitted by Martin (not verified) on June 12, 2006 - 8:17pm.

I have found after a good bit of travelling that if you have to take some gadgets and a laptop make sure those gadgets can be charged up over USB. Hunt about eBay for USB chargers for your phone, pda and Music player of choice.

Doing so means that you carry just one power adaptor ( the one for the laptop ) and a handful of cables at most.

After having all my adaptors crushed at the one time by Iberia ( thanks guys ) I learned my lesson.
