    Why would her phone and ipod both need charging at the same time?
    There's also a good chance that she's not allowed to take a phone.

    OP just one single uk/eu adaptor should be fine, available everywhere.

    They're quite often not allowed on school trips.

    They want children to interact with each other, not spend time texting/phoningIM' their friends at home and they'd prefer if any contact with parents is through the teachers.

    I am guess that like many people she wants to put the two of them on charge overnight so they are both ready/fully charged in the morning when she wakes up

    I'm guessing that as this is a thread from 5 months ago that was resurrected yesterday, there's a chance the OP isn't following it too much now...
  • Maybe not SW17, but the info might be useful for someone else.

    Possibly, though that could be a basis for reopening thousands of threads.

    Make sure the phones are insured as they are not covered by normal travel insurance
    Do you want your money back, and a bit more, search for 'money claim online' - They don't like it up 'em Captain Mainwaring

    It was a school trip. I would be deeply disappointed in a school that would allow my child to spend the day on their phone/ipod instead of partaking in the activities I'd paid for. The exact reason that schools don't allow them on trips!

    But she would still have carry Mains to USB adapters, for any Devices that charge/run via a USB plug.

    As long as there's a (correct) fuse in there somewhere.
