I thought I would illustrate further --as if my post wasn't long enough

This is an example of my plugging in when at my hotel in Iceland: US-Eu converter, 3/2 US adapter, 3 way US splitter plug, 2 iphone/iPad charge heads, one generic charge head, and a EU iPhone wall plug. I had to place the small towel under the big EU/US adapter to hold it level so it wouldn't hang and fall out of the socket. Now some may think it's ok to just plug some devices right into a 220, but I aint taking chances. Besides, we do use the converters for other things too sometimes. I own two that have been working fine for years.

(BTW, in case it matters to anyone, I may do a trip report on Iceland later and elsewhere in FT)
