Blowdryer info: I think that the small blowdryers in Europe have more power and are hotter than the travel dryers in the US. Taking your full size dryer is too heavy and bulky. It pays to buy one over there, usually about 20E. If you buy one in Europe it will work everywhere except in the UK or visavera.
I can't dry my hair with one of those hoses nor with one attached to the wall with only a one foot telephone cord. Again, if the plug is low amp, I will unplug a lamp in the room and use that outlet.

Have you returned from you European adventure as yet? If so, would you mind posting about if and how well your flat iron worked, as well as any tips. I'll be heading to Paris on May 19th and would really appreciate any input. Many thanks!

mngazidja: You have tacked your question about your laptop on to a thread about flat irons and hair styling problems w/ a title of "Bad Hair Day". You would do better to start a new thread w/ your question.
But in general - If you have a dual voltage item you only need a plug adaptor. If it is a single voltage appliance - then you have to worry about a converter and an adaptor.

I always pack my dual voltage blow dryer and dual voltage curling brush.
I use both at home every day and toss them in the suitcase with adapter plugs.
In my experience, the blow dryers in hotels are inconveniently located, without sufficient power, or whoppingly heavy.
The curling brush (Conair) I prefer (and produces fabulous results) is not available "over there".
For me, "dragging" the blow dryer and electric curling brush are absolutely essential. They do not take up much room in the suitcase, require only and adapter plug, and produce fabulous results. I also pack an extension cord...
