I'm traveling out of the country for the first time- and don't know if I can bring any plug ins...... such as a hair straightener or pluggable alarm clock....?

Yes, they use the same plugs and current so you can bring your appliances with you.

Yes they are in Baja...and as i remember they were the same as far down as Puerta Vallarta... maybe in some places they are different, but so far so good..lol

yes, we use the same .

Yes they are, so go ahead and take them along.
