Mexico Question - electrical/do I need an adapter?
 
Going to Mexico soon and staying near PDC, this time we have 'stuff' such as cell, camcorder, etc and tho they are dual voltage I need to know if we need an adapter, not a converter, just an adapter? Are the plug prongs/tines the same as our US plugs?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Plugs are the same.

Everything's the same in Mexico--voltage, plugs both.

Above are correct, but get a two prong adapter for anything you have with three prongs.

Wait to buy your 3 to 2 prong converter plugs in Mexico as the one's in the US have different size prongs & the outlets in Mexico have the same size holes. Any hardware or large box store will have them.

Again, thanks to all for taking the time to respond. I am in the US so looks like it won't be a problem using my chargers in Mexico.
