Costa Rica electric
Do you need any converters or special plugs for the region?

Region ?
Costa Rica uses 115 volts, with US type plugs.

We've never needed them for anywhere that we've gone.

No need for converter - but - depending on where you are staying, you might want to bring one of those two-prong to three-prong thingies. Many of the more inexpensive or older hotels don't have three-prong outlets.

Hmmmm.... I just read the question again -- and -- the poster doesn't say where she/he is from. From the US, no difference. From Europe and some South American countries, will need converter.
