I have traveled off and on with a three prong adapter and a 9' extention cord (yellow) 
For longer trips I have an 8 outlet surger protector I bring along for longer trips (for hotel rooms to plug everything in).
I have learned there is only so much one can plug into those car adapters (using a cigerette lighter)
Not sure what happened to my splitter though

Is it ok to plug this into 220v with an adapter?

its only rated for "A/C Rating: 125 Volts, AC 15A"
to use it on 220/240, you'll need a converter, which typically also acts as an adapter to the different plug config.

Thanks for confirming what i suspected. The belkin and monster usb ports dont supply enough power for the ipad (5v?). Any alternatives?

I have one of these guys plugged into the wall by my bed. Be warned that the USB ports won't charge anything that requires more than 500mA from the USB port - which includes obvious power hogs like the iPad and also other electronics like my Blackberry 9700. I think my Kindle also needs more power but have never tried plugging it into the usb ports, now that I think of it.
When I plugged my 9700 into the USB port, it said that there was insufficient power available for charging, and the little green light on the outlet strip started flickering.

I use one of these at home, and take it on travel with me. It will fully charge both a Kindle and an iPhone from dead from the USB ports.

I like this one:
http://www.targus.com/us/productdetail.aspx?sku=APS03US
4 outlets facing different directions. They could all be wall warts and it would still fit. It also has basic surge protection. If I ask politely to share an outlet that is already in use, most people will let me insert the strip @:-)
