Just a convertor and a 2 prong plug...the 2 prong plug we used was from another family that bought it in VN for about 50 cents. If you are staying upscale, like the Hilton (which we did for 2 nights), they have all the adaptors ready for you.

I'm am chuckling to myself... I am remembering B the day before she left.
Lists are good and it will all get done. Hope the dog sitter works out good.

I can't wait to read your posts from Vietnam...
