What kind of power adapter do I need?

For Italy?

I just need an adapter right to charge my phone, tablet, etc? Something like this? www.amazon.com/OREI-Grounded-Universal-Adapter-Uruguay/dp/B004SY9OVA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1398177225&sr=8-1&keywords=power+adapter+for+italy

What do I need for my hair dryer and curling iron? From what I've read this sounds like it's going to be a pain. I'm considering just buying a cheap hair dryer when I get there but I don't want to also buy a curling iron. I could do without if I have to and just have really flat hair.

Not all of the places we are staying will provide a hair dryer IIRC.

I would contact one of the hotels you are staying at, they should be able to help you out. And if they can't they can tell you who can.

That looks right to me. I'd check with the Travel board just in case. Sometimes, your hotel may have adapters to borrow, too.

We stayed at budget-y places in Italy, btw, and I'm pretty sure a hair dryer came with the rooms. Hair dryers suck up a lot of energy, so you may blow the adapter. I'd also embrace the ponytail or any other low-maintenance hair style while you're traveling.

I have definitely thought about doing lots of ponytails. Sigh.
