    Merino wool shirt

    I bought three long sleeve lightweight REI brand merino wool shirts. They were quite good and comfortable. Less expensive, and if you use a member coupon (new ones coming March 15), they are even cheaper. As someone said, I wore a second shirt on chilly mornings and that was warm enough. Didn't...

    Lesson learned: must unlock phone to use a European SIM Card (My Fail)

    My mistake today: I should have checked with my US cell provider T-Mobile to find out if my phone is unlocked and able to accept another SIM card. My iPhone is on a payment plan with significant promotional benefits so it cannot be unlocked until it’s fully paid off (I’m half way through the...

    US/EU Outlet Adapter with USB Ports - Any Experience Using?

    @jeanineonthecamino Right, I understand the unused prongs are useless weight. I do hope to visit the UK again, so I can use one like this without buying another. But removable prongs reduce weight. Can you suggest one based on your experiences? Many thanks

    US/EU Outlet Adapter with USB Ports - Any Experience Using?

    @DoughnutANZ that's good advice. I also plan to bring a power pack. My preference would be to not have to charge while walking so I can focus on being present where I am. I would use the power pack when sitting for lunch.

    US/EU Outlet Adapter with USB Ports - Any Experience Using?

    @Rick of Rick and Peg - then won't I need multiple adapters and access to multiple outlets? I need to charge a phone, watch and hearing aids. If I charge one after another I have to stay with them. Thanks for your help.
