Do you need European plug adapters on STT? My guess would be NOT, but since they drive like the Brits maybe the electric follows suit?

If you're coming from the US with standard North American stuff - you'll be fine. No adapter necessary.

I would recommend bringing a surge protector if you will be plugging anything expensive in. Power outages are common here and sometimes when it comes back on it could cause damage to expensive things like digital cameras and laptops. Obviously I wouldn't worry about blowdryers and curling irons. Have a great time in the islands!

Paul says "No. We're the United States!" Then why haven't they changed to driving on the right like the rest of the States? Seems like it would pay off in the long run??? (tu)

If they change to driving on the other side I would surely leave for a year or more until the chaos dies down.

A year? I would for five! Driving on the left makes us unique and different.
