I just take a couple of electrical outlet plug adapters, along with a multi plug splitter (similar to this: Multi Plug Outlet Splitter with USB) and let the devices handle any voltage conversion on their own.
Well, thanks for making me rethink this. For years, it always really been about my waterpik, could never find 240v compatible. Well, new products are out there now, can ditch the converter, and even the power strips as there is and easier way to deal with multiple outlets.... Thanks....I'll be in Entim camp for a while with David Lloyd.
We have the laptop, his charger, my 2 chargers, phones, etc. We still take a power strip for hubby and I to use. Remember that large 3 prong plugs often impede the outlet next to it either in the wall, a plug with multiple outlets or on a power strip!!!!!! We plan on having one wall outlet.....but that may only give us room to plug in one power strip or device.... AND take several plug adapters so if one gets left behind you have a back up. They are light - but necessary.
The power strip thing was giving me issues, until I thought why do I really need it at all. Instead, taking a couple of these able Matters Splitters , they will be lighter than a strip I should think, and there is not much that could fail. And yes, I like my electric toothbrush too, will likely leave it behind, its heavy.We have the laptop, his charger, my 2 chargers, phones, etc. We still take a power strip for hubby and I to use.

BTW - hubby likes his powered toothbrush....but manages with an old fashioned manual one for the length of the trip.............soooooo much easier and lighter to pack. You're not going to be kissing the lions......
I have saved a lot of empty travel containers over the years. I only take enough shampoo, toothpaste, etc for the trip plus 2-3 days extra in case of delays. I even have small little plastic vials I can put just a bit of makeup in! Same with medications.....which we carry on us during travel there and back. Quick dry tops that can get washed out in the sink.....and only a few! One fleece for brisk mornings/evenings and a wind breaker.
Have a great trip! Wish I were joining you!
