That hertz. But at least she's staying current.
I just realized I am going to need something to keep my cameras charged. Do I remember correctly that Ireland's power points deliver 220?

It just occurred to me. Has anyone heard from the other Ted in all this planning for WAPI? I certainly hope he shows up with Goldie! Not to mention the bears.

No, TEd - nothing from the Erse Ursus, although I did PM him at one point - but without response.

220/240v. What camera do you use? I have a universal charger that may suit your brand.

Hi! As for curling, I suggest one of those curling irons that run on a self-contained heater thingies. Any good shop can help you out. Meanwhile, I strongly recommend this place : http://www.Magellans.comI have bought tons of stuff from them and never been disappointed in the quality. They have pages and pages and pages of all kinds of adaptors in the catalogue! EDIT : They have a link for residents of the UK. The website has all kinds of info on travel including packing. There is a contact point for specific info on a place. Magellans has been a Godsend to me in buying gifts for My Son The Major who travels all over the Far East for the Army. Plus he and his Lovely Wife have travelled to Europe and found Magellans stuff a huge convenience. One thing I found that's great is one-time-use plastic locks. You snap them on and the only way to open your luggage is by cutting them off. BUT better check with specific airline as to the regulations on locked luggage as there are new security regs. Oh, and Magellans has a bag for film which allows it to go through Xray without damage! A professional Pho-Jo friend swears by it. He got the catologue and bought the Many Pocket Vest ( a real investment) because it is very handy for him. But then he travels with no fewer than three cameras! So the Vest may not be for anyone but the serious Pho-Jo!

When I travel abroad the first thing that goes in the suitcase is an old fashion hot water bottle. takes little room and very handy for both hot and cold water! Also I invest in one of those silver Emergency Blankets - pretty cheap- they're silver and fold into a tiny packet. If the matress is cold, just unfold and put it under you. Promlem solved. Takes less room than a pack of cigarettes (remember them?) The blanket will also reflect heat if you are in torrid climes. Oh, and talk to your bank NOW ... if arranged ahead you can buy some traveller checks in Irish Punts or Euros which are taken everywhere and there is no charge for changing from US dollars. When I was there Jury's hotel wanted 30 percent to change dollars to punts on a Sunday checkout! So I stayed another night and went to the bank next day and changed them and came out even! If you can find them : I used Kennedy half dollars as little souvenirs for children I met on the way. They loved them. Another big hit was a Polaroid camera so I could give pictures to people on the spot

__________THE EMERALD WORDAPALOOZA__________
MOTHER IRELAND At first I was land. I lay on my back to the fields and when I turned on my side I was a hill under freezing stars. I did not see. I was seen. Night and day words fell on me. Seeds. Raindrops. Chips of frost. From one of them I learned my name. I rose up. I remembered it. Now I could tell my story. It was different from the story told about me. And now also it was spring. I could see the wound I had left in the land by leaving it. I traveled west. Once there I looked with so much love at every field as it unfolded its rusted wheel and its pram chassis and at the gorse- bright distances I had been that they had misunderstood me. Come back to us they said Trust me I whispered. -Eavan Bowland _________________See yall in June. _________________
