Hi dave dee, I think most of the sockets in the US have a earth on them but not as obvious as our 13 amp.
this might help http://www.selfhelpandmore.com/switch-outlet/composition-of-a-standard-electrical-outlet.php
double insulated basically means that the body of the appliance is plastic not metal.

I think that this may answer my question. Many thanks for your help.I can unpack the junior hacksaw now!

PS: Only 6 sleeps to go
That's it upset me now been back 7 days, wish it was only 7 days to go
Coming from Scotland, I might just take a pair of wellies! Were you away somewhere nice? We're off to the Dominican Republic, so the wellies may come in handy
All the best.

Just got back from Orlando fantastic but it has changed a lot since I was there 15 years ago some for the better some for the worst.
we live in Cambridge.
Have you been to Dominican 3 times have you been there before? we loved it.
So that I am not I will say that the wiring is not to great but it is US sockets
Alan
I wasn't too sure of the sockets as this is our FIRST trip to the Dominican (did you like how I stayed on topic there!) and never having flown long haul before from my local airport in Glasgow, I wasn't too sure what to expect with the electrical side of things (I'm getting good at this!!)
I'll probably still get my knuckles rapped!
All the best.
David
sorry : but I like the bottem wave best
I think we'll need to knock this one on the head Alan.It seems we've been hogging this post to ourselves lately!
David
PS: Sorry Luci
