Keep in mind that when you get there, you will probably need to by a converter as well for the outlet. I had to buy a three pronged adapter when I was in Spain.

I alsohave the international charger for it because I have taken a BLT overseas several times. Then Blazie/FS issued multivoltage, lightweight chargers but found them to be a serious problem, especially with the M series. The main trouble was that you had to be careful to stop the charging when it was completed. You couldn't leave the unit overnight because the charger would not drop back to tricke. If I go overseas again, I will buy an international adapter from Humanware. Evelyn At 01:45 PM 9/13/05, you wrote: >Yes that is the whole idea.
