Travel Adapters

Why can't we all just have the same electrical system all over the world.

Is it necessary to have a different plug and voltage in every different place???

Yes I travel with travel adapters but,

a. i can never find one when i need it,

b. i leave them behind in my hotel rooms and

c. i blow them up.

Not intentionally of course. The appliances i travel with are too power full for the little things. Ugh.

I'm currently scrambling through all of my luggage as we speak. I know i put one back in there before leaving Breman.................
