What is a nice/inexpensive voltage and plug adapter for traveling overseas?
I plan on visiting Germany, Czech Republic, Austria and France and need a good converter that not only adapts the plug but also the voltage for my electronics. Does anyone have any suggestions for a nice one that seems to work well? Thanks in advance.

For just small electronics, just get an off the shelf 50Wtravel transformer. It will probably have the most common two round pin male and US type female.
For your hair appliances, get a solid state high-power converter.

We run off 240V AC, you run off 112V AC (I believe), so you need a transformer. Many laptops have variable transformers that sort that out for you, but you need to check it first. The plugs are also different, especially designed to stop you stick things in the live and neutral contacts. We have three pinned plugs. P.S. Apparently americans are always surprised to find that it's illegal to have electrical sockets in the bathroom in the UK.
