How do I get internet on vacation in Europe?
I will be travelling to Italy and Russia and am wondering how I can have access to the internet on my laptop (other than in hotels and cafes with wi-fi). Is there a card I have to buy? How much is it? Thanks

I am leaving for italy in august and i plan on bringing my laptop with me, what adapter or converter do i need
i am worried because i have been researching this and many people have had their lap tops fried by plugging it into an adapter and it sparked and just went out. What do i need to do so that i can charge my computer over there while im in italy? i hope someone can help me and i would very much appreciate respectful not rude answers. Thanks so much, my comp runs on 110v-240 volts 50-60Hz. so would it be ok for me to just buy an adapter?

You need to find out if your computer can handle 110v and 220v or just 110 (check the power cord). European electricity runs 220volts, so if your charger only says 110v, you need to get a converter to change the voltage. Then you need to purchase an Italian adapter (go to any travel store and they will have them). The adapter shouldn't be but a few dollars, the converter though can get a little pricey, maybe $10. I'd say go to a travel store and buy a kit with a converter and adapters for most European countries... might as well have them on hand just in case you ever go somewhere other than Italy. Search travel adapter or converter on google and you can find some good prices as well

The only issue will be service for warranty work.

You might have a power supply adapter issue. Buy a laptop that shows 110/220 Volts on the power supply. Then buy the appropriate PLUG adapter, so you can plug that in back home. That adapter should cost just $20. It should not be one of the transformer style of adapter. It would work, but why use a transformer when you don't need it. Look at Toshiba FIRST. Buy the way, you might check for that availability of tech support for the brand that you BUY in Italy. So if you do buy a Toshiba, learn about their tech support service in Italy for a computer that was BOUGHT in the USA. Visit http://www.toshiba.it/ and read all about it. Your second choice would be HP. Have a great trip in the USA. If you visit New York, go to the Statue of Liberty, but get there very early in the morning to catch the first boat. The lines can be very long.

before you get there you should update your antivirus software, check to make sure that your power adapter is dual voltage and you can buy an adapter for the european style outlet when you get there, or you can look for one at sharper image but those are kinda expensive compared to waht you can get them for in italy, the only other thing i could forsee is the language barrier between you and your Internet Service Provider and that warranty issue, but i live in germany and have been able to find reps for those countries easily so no big deal there

How to stay organized but stylish while traveling
How to stay organized but stylish while traveling?
I'm 16 and I'm flying on an ten-hour including transit flight to Italy in a couple of weeks (flying that long a distance alone for the first time) and I will be bringing along a notebook laptop and a small DSLR camera, but I'd preferably like to have my hands free so I don't lose or forget anything. How can I arrange my carry-on so everything fits? I dislike backpacks during the summer because they make my back feel sticky, and having just one bag would be ideal. Any suggestions for bags, or organizing tips?

Messenger Bags!! Gola, Dunlop, penguin and fred perry do nice ones... Don't bring to much on as hand luggage, leave most things to the suitcase so you don't have loads of stuff to fiddle about with!
2 :
I agree, a messenger bag (or manbag, as we used to call it in school) that crosses over your torso would be best. You don't want it hanging off one side of you because then it's easier to steal.

there are these super cute beach bags in aeroppostale and hollister and i think abraccrombie, they are wicked cute and they hold a lot of stuff! hava nice trip
