You might want to bring ...

A step-down converter
They come in a variety of wattages, so you’ll want to know what appliances you’ll be bringing and what wattage they require. For instance, some hairdryers can pull as much as 1800 watts (more?), so you’ll need a converter that can handle high wattage and also lower wattage for a travel clock radio or an electric shaver.

I found a great converter kit with a set of adapters on Ebay for a total cost of just under $20 including shipping.It can manage 50W to 1600W. That about does it for me! Of course, I haven’t used it, yet, so we’ll soon see if it was a bargain. The one linked above is just an example.

Good headphones and an adapter that will let them fit into the funny little two-pronged outlets in planes.

Snacks for the long flight and layovers, plus more for your stay.

A good travel guide book
