I use a Monster Power Outlets To Go that even has a 110/220 USB port. Into that, I plug:

Anker 40w 5 port USB charger (see post above)
Lenovo Computer charger

I've labeled the power strip as "local voltage only" so I won't accidentally plug a 110 volt appliance into the strip whilst I am in a 220/240 volt country.

That keeps me from carrying around more than one plug converter and all of it (including all the USB cords) neatly fit into my Tom Bihn Snake Charmer.
Yep, that's an approach several 'round these parts have taken:

I still don't quite understand if a US surge suppressor would trip when plugged into 230 volts.
