Hi there

I'm giong to Jamaica in September this year and I know from past experience in the Caribbean that their electricity is a different voltage. Last time I was in Mexico (2007) I took a pair of gas straighteners but they were absolutely rubbish. Can anyone advise if hair straighteners (Remingtons) will work in Jamaica or if you need to buy one of those voltage convertors I've heard about?

Also, my friend is going to Mexico in August and is panicking about her GHD's working over there? (Of course, I cant help her because I had the great idea to take the gas ones with me which were a waste of time).

Any help would be much appreciated
