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.

                Hi again Alan.
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.

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

                Hi 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.
