    My wife and I planning for travel to Greece. She is not sure if all the palaces she is staying have hair dryers. She bought a travel hair dryer, but it states have to only use it on low when the wattage is changed. Her hair is super thick - it will take forever to dry on low. Can anyone suggest a place where she can buy a hairdryer for overseas?

    I suspect you meant voltage. Either way she will be fine. Travel hair dryers are meant to be used with the 220-240v that other countries use on the low setting only since drawing the same amps at a higher voltage equals the same level of wattage as the high setting on 120v. It'll basically be on high the whole time. Just make sure you have a plug adapter obviously. Actually make sure you have one each. Wife and I only took one adapter and were constantly stealing it from each other.
