<Edit: Deleted all that was here about surge protection>

This is my new solution, let me know how this sounds. I am going to purchase a standard surge protector for the US. (One you can get for your laptops). Then purchase a set of standard conversion tips.

Plug the laptop into the surge protector, plug the surge protector into a tip, tip into the outlet. Is this grounded or should I spring for the grounded tips on Magellan? (What percantage of grounded outlets will I come across/is the surge protector enough to protect me without being grounded)

Then for my other devices I'm just going to borrow someone elses from my program :P I'm going to be living in Germany for 5 months with other international students from all over the world (including 40 other students from my home university) SOMEONE will have the proper conversion :P
