Dear Betty Jean:
 
Isla Marguerita and the rest of Venezuela is a lovely place; you will
have a good time.  Their electricity connections are the same as in the
United States.
 
Of course, most of us don't have to worry about a hair dryer.  What
would you look like without a hair dryer? Why a shell collector of
course.  Besides, just stand in back of anyone else on the trip when
photographs are taken and you have nothing to worry about.
 
Have an enjoyable journey.  Buena suerte y via con dios, mi amiga.
