Re power converters - if you look at most electronics lately (laptop power supply, camera battery chargers, etc) - look at the input on the power cord - if it says 100-240 volt input, then you don't need a voltage converter, you just need the plug adapter. I just take a couple plug adapters and a 3 or 6 outlet plug to plug into that - then all my electronics can go into charge on that. I still carry a voltage converter, but very rarely do I actually have anything that I plug in that needs conversion.

Super info! Thanks all - now I have some places to start checking out.

I haven't downhill skied in years, but my husband was thinking renting some cross country skis or snowshoes could be a fun thing to do for our "alone time" We are going with two friends, one of whom is paralyzed - so some of our time will need to be relatively accessible activities - he's pretty adventuresome, quite flexible (mentally I mean) and more mobile than one might think though.

I'm not super worried about the weather - It will probably be not much different than what we will be leaving behind in Seattle.... yeah it might be nice to go somewhere tropical and get away from it...., but it also seems a rather romantic place to spend Christmas. We don't have any family where we live, so we usually don't do too much.
