I have 3 days left until my wedding and 5 days before we depart for our 5 week honeymoon. Sorry about the silly question but I'm trying to nail down the details before we depart. Should I buy batteries (CD Player, booklight, Gameboy, camera flash) before I leave or are they priced reasonably in Europe?

I am assuming that you are in the US. Yes buy them here. The reason if not for the price then at least for the convenience. One less thing you have to interrupt your honeymoon for..just my 2 cents...

buy the Costco 20-pack, or take rechargeables and a voltage converter and charger...<BR>My digital camera like laptop were NiHydride; I charged them every night after downloading pictures. Most modern power bricks in N.America say 100-250V 50-60Hz, and you just need a plug adaptor not a converter to use them in Europe.

my question is why on earth are you taking a Gameboy on your HONEYMOON to EUROPE!?<BR><BR>Are you old enough to get married?

Wait Wait Wait. Isn't the current in Europe different??

This has to be a troll. No one would lug batteries all the way to Europe, or take a Gameboy on their honeymoon.

I don't even know what a Gameboy is, but some people like to play games on the plane so maybe -- anybody who takes a booklight can't be all bad IMO (I take one also as I read a lot and lighting in hotels is not always good).<BR><BR>Batteries in Europe are reasonably priced, not that diff. from US. Perhaps a little more expensive (but I'm not even sure on that anymore), but really, do you have to save such a small amt on batteries that you will lug so many extra around in your baggage? Why would you think batteries would be so expensive in Europe? Sometimes it seems people think Europe is like going to Mars or something. Geez, you can buy stuff like that on every street corner.
