Hello again all.
Just about to show my ignorance.

Can anybody confirm that the electric supply on Aruba is same as USA.
I am coming from UK so we have different plugs on our electrical products.
I have to charge my itouch and have a USA adapter (2 thin prongs) is this the correct adapter for Aruba? The adapter instructions state that it is for use in USA and Caribbean countries but I am unsure of anything to do with electrity.
If this is the wrong adapter, does anybody know if the Tamarijn resort, where we are staying, will have anyway that I can charge my itouch (ie through their computer at reception.) Or am I being too cheeky to ask them to do this if my adapter doesn't work.
Thanks

Are the ones in Aruba the same as Canada? I know you said it's the same as US and pardon my ignorance but what about Toronto, Canada? Thanks.
