    My friend is heading to mexico and is worried about charging his notebook. Do you need a special adapter in mexico to charge a macbook?

    I am not sure if you need an adapter, I don't think so. Do be sure he uses the grounded cable, and not the one that came already attached to the power brick. you sould always use the grounded one anyway, but in case he does not.

    I've been to Cancun at least once or twice a year for the last 12 years and you do not need any kind of adapter. I always take my laptop with me. Most of the hotels have in-room safes that are big enough to put your laptop (plus other stuff) in.

    Trying to find a wifi that you can use is the problem. Few, if any, of the hotels have in-house wifi. I typically use a dialup connection through Earthlink in my room... that's the only reason I keep it.
