Beth Hi, paul here from Nottingham England, trust me it is freezing here at the moment, I still think London is under about 16 foot of snow. Only joking, it's not Canada, but it has turned cold just lately. In london the best day to go is anyday really. just do it within office hours and not before 9 in the morning or after 5 and before 7 in the evening. That's when it is closed. Joking again.

Thanks! I looks like mine will work and I called the manufacturer just
to confirm it.
Now, my question is - if you had one free day in London to vlog ... What
would you pick?

You need to check that your power adaptors can handle the European
current. Europe uses 230V at 50Hz (the US uses 110V at 60Hz). There
should
be tiny print on the power adaptors letting you know the range at which
they work.
If the adaptors work at 230V all you need is a plug adaptor. Most stores
with an electronics department (Try WalMart like stores) should have a
travel pack with different plugs for cheap. The UK plug looks pretty
weird
with three prongs: <URL:

If your adaptors can't handle European current you'll need a more
expensive adaptor that also transforms the current. In that case it may
be
cheaper just to buy a new power adaptor in the UK (I don't know the cost
of such a transformer).
Anyway, both my camera charger and laptop power adaptor works fine in
the
US with only a plug adaptor (I'm in Europe). I imagine it's the same the
other way around. But since your stuff can blow up if not, it's good to
check before you travel. :o)
