Reason I ask is I have a few items (laptop, iPad, phone, Kindle) and I don't think a hotel room is going to provide four wall outlets (or if it does, I'm loathe to buy four international adapters just for one trip).

I realise there's a voltage difference, but I'm not sure if this would affect a simple power strip (I'm in no way an electrician!).
No problem for me as well in Americas, Europe, Africa and Asia. I travel with CPAP, Thinkpad, tablet, blackberry, smartphone, mifi and digital camera.

I have a mini US power bar with 4 outlets, a four output usb charger and a multi country plug adapter that I have used world wide.
