Many thanks to all who replied to my request for Britain traveling
info!! 

  Now my question is on traveling with my Mac.  Has anyone had experience
taking their Mac to England?  Beyond the step-down transformer and adaptors,
what else will I need?  Does anyone have any good recommendations for these
power-related things (I've heard horror stories of people who have toasted
their Macs all across Europe..ugly!)  I remember reading an article in Macworld
about some sort of....hmmm what was the word....Carnets...that one should
buy before leaving the US to avoid paying a hefty customns deposit upon
entering a foreign country.  What's the real scoop on these?
  Is it worth it for me to buy one of these and cart my Mac to the UK
or should I just take *all* my notes by hand and wait till I get back
to work them into my Mac
