I'm taking a trip to bon air to go windsurfing and I noticed that their power outlets are :
125 volt 50 cycle outlet
While the ones where I live (Georgia, USA) are
110 volt 60 cycle
Do you think I'll have trouble plugging in my laptop?

Click for more activation options, then activate by telephone. Run the keygen.if I call them, aren't they going to get me? (you know, down there)
Where are you? The 125 volt is ok... I guess, The 50 cycle is not... I think
I never heard of a place that runs like that.

Where is this "bon air" you speak of?
Small Island 50 miles to the east of Aruba
Here's a map:
For those of you no familiar, the Caribbean Sea is between the SouthEastern part North America and the NorthEastern part of South America.

So it's Bonaire and not 'Bon Air' eh? You might want to find out where you're going exactly. Could be walking into Castro's holiday inn.
And people wonder sometimes when we find it hard to help them
there outlets will most likely be different if it's a different voltage\cycles so you'll end up needing an adaptor anyway.
Oh. Bonaire.Originally Posted by lightshow

127 volt, 50 cycle. 220 volt is also available at some resorts. Most U.S. appliances will work, however a bit hotter. Dive shops and resorts have stations for guest use for charging camera batteries, etc. It is recommended that you use them to avoid damage to delicate equipment.

in curacao (also part of the Dutch Antilles, as i Bonaire (Bon Air, lol)) they had 110 volts (also some 220/230 v outlets)
are you sure Bonaire has 125v/60Hz? cause maybe thats just Bon Air where they have that (wherever the hell that may be)
and if they do have a different voltage, a little lower is ok, but higher will kill your equipment (my dad had a (cheap) 230v power drill that he used in the uk (240v) and it died after 3 hours, i woudnt take that sorta risk with something as delicate as your laptop)
now the 60 hertz shouldnt be a problem, since it will be converted to DC anyway......
but euhhhmmmmmm, one question though: your going to Bonaire (or bon air)......... SO WHY THE FUCK TAKE YOUR LAPTOP WITH YOU?????? lol

Thanks guys. And I bring my laptop so I can dump all the digital pictures I take from my digital camera. Then go back out and take more.
