Tech Luddite Begs Forgiveness..

Oh, good heavens and deep breaths.

I got an international plug thing from REI for charging my phone, but the electric plug that goes into my charger doesn't go into the plug.

Should I just get this in Spain and stop worrying?? It's like the roundish holes don't accommodate my squarish plug.

Jeez I'm stupid with electronics.

Most electronics no longer need to convert the power. Does your phone have a USB end on the charger? All you need is an adapter that can be bought in any phone store or Chinese euro store. I bought one the for 5 euros, but met a woman who only paid 3 euros. If your plug isn't USB but regular US two pronged plug, you can find a cheap adaptor for that as well. I would try a hardware store (fereteria). I've bought several in the past and they were super cheap - probably less than 1euro each. The airport prices will be a great deal higher. You also don't want to carry the extra weight of the international chargers you find at U.S. travel stores or REI, if you bought what I think you bought. I have the web address of a great plug, but my understanding is you're short on time.

Thanks to Bajaracer, here's the address...

You are VERY lucky that you had to get a little pushy with the charger to get your phone plug into it. I have left a LOT of chargers in albergue walls when I pulled out the plug in the morning. In fact, I have done it so often that I now use duct tape to tape the plug to the adaptor.
