Well you already got the basic stuff like the clothes so I would personally not bring the laptop on the plane cuz all you can do is stuff without the internet. I would bring an i-pod or maybe some books/magazines. You maybe also have like mini gaming systems. Nintendo DS for example. Or just start a conversation with someone or maybe cathch up on some sleep. What I sometimes do is make up a story or something in my head. Hoped I helped and enjoy Italy

I'm leaving to Italy today! Help me with this question
I'm leaving to Italy today! Help me with this question.?
In the booklet that came with my Hi-Lo converter, it says: APPLIANCES NOT TO BE USED WITH THESE UNITS Camera, laptops, sewing machines, etc, etc. Then it gives a chart that says what you can use it with. It basically says you can use things from 25- 700 watts. Then it says: Electric appliances- 110 volts use with converters and/or transformers. Now, I'm looking at my Ipod charger and it says: AC: 100 - 240 V, 50/60 Hz, 0.15 A, 5W Max My camera battery charger says: AC: 100 - 240 V, 50/60 Hz, 4.5-7.5 VA, 2.2 W Can i still use the converter and adapter for these chargers?

The Hi-Lo type of converter is especially made for appliances that are used quickly; those are usually the heat-producing kind (hair dryers, irons, etc.). Others are best for longer-term usage, such as for chargers and laptops. I have not had any problems using either kind for simple charging of electronics. However, since both your appliances are dual voltage (and should automatically use the correct voltage, though your camera may have a switch), you will not need a voltage converter, just a plug adapter.

Tonalc is right and you should give him a best answer . The labels on your devices tell you that they will work with both US and Italian outlets - all you need is the plug adapter. I've lived in Italy for 10 years and have never needed a voltage converter here at all. In fact, my camera instructions for use (Sony) specifically say not to use the charger with a voltage converter to avoid damage. All you need is something like this: http://www.buy.com/prod/us-to-europe-eu-travel-plug-electric-power-outlet-adapter-converter/q/listingid/75271989/loc/101/213645860.html

How can I get internet and phone service in San Gimignano
How can I get internet and phone service in San Gimignano, Italy?
I am staying at a villa with my family in Italy for 10 days. We fly into Rome, travel to Venice and then will spend most of our time at the villa in San Gimignano. How can I get phone service and internet service? I have an AT&T Apple iPhone 3G and a Compaq laptop computer. I want to be able to skype my friends, go online and call people in the USA. What do I need to do in order to make this happen? Thanks!

Are there public internet access locations in Sassari, Sardinia, Italy
Are there public internet access locations in Sassari, Sardinia, Italy?
I am planning a trip to Sassari, Sardinia, Italy, for the near future, and am interested in learning about any public internet access locations, or other locations where internet access could be purchased. Libraries, cafés with wireless (or wire) connections, or any other means of internet access for a personal laptop would be of use to me; so, I would appreciate any information. I do not intend to stay at a Hotel. I tried to find such information through a web search, but have not so far been successful.
