An appliance-specific question: Mrs BamaVol and BamaVol Jr #3 travel everywhere with a hair straightener. We've had difficulty making it work outside the US despite whatever adapters we carry. Last year, we ended up purchasing one in Europe (Vienna I think). Is either likely to work in BsAs or should we plan on searching for one locally upon arrival?
