Try best buy, not sure if they will have a combination one (it has like 5+ configurations), but im sure they have at least at two way converter.
back up all your laptop data if you are taking one, charge up batteries + spares.
where are you going, how long are you staying?

I'm heading over there next week.
I picked this up off Amazon: I did the free Amazon Prime trial and got free 2 day shipping so it's not bad. Also my electronics are all 100-240V input so I opted against getting a voltage converter.

If i'm not mistaking you should be able to just get a 2 pin adaptor for everywhere you go... most of Europe uses those. Obviously make sure that whatever you're plugging in has a 220/110 converter.
a normal adaptor would probably cost you like a couple of $

Just check if countries all has 2 round prawns sockets. it's like type E or somethinglike that... if yes a cheap adaptor will be good enough. you could buy 2-3 of them for a fraction of the cost of those multi adaptore so you would be able to charge you phone, computer and camera at the same time.
