It has been a while since I traveled internationally. And, now, I need to stay in touch electronically while I'm overseas. So, I had a couple of quick questions for anyone who may know: 1. What type of electrical converter is needed for a standard laptop computer. Is it safe to use the electrical converter for plugging in a laptop. I really don't want a fried computer. 2. How widespread is Wi-Fi in places like France, Spain, and Germany? Also, do most hotels have in-room high-speed like the majority of hotels in the U.S. now have? 3. I'm assuming that my cellphone won't work while I'm in Europe. What do most people do? Buy a cellphone just for international trips?
