When planning a holiday means planning what lights to take with you and booking hotels and rental cars are a second thought.
When you actually enquire whether power goes out regularly in your destination city and you cheer when the answer is positive.
When planning excursions on your holiday, you favour visiting dark caves, poorly lit ruins and stuff like that.
One of the first things you ask about your destination country is what power sockets they have (for your chargers).

PS: This is actually happening to me. In april I will be visiting Cameroon (the dark continent!!) and all the above is sadly true...
(Will take 2 ARC AAA-P - one for me, one for my girlfriend - a SF E1L and I am still thinking about bringing my Peak Pacific and/or the SF L2):sssh:
Power seems to go out on a regular basis in the city (Garoua) :grin2:
Cameroon is 220 volt
We will be visiting the Northern parts of the country, which are still very primitive, where there is no electric light at night :sold:
My girlfriend is a Cameronese historian/archeologist and should know all the interesting and dark places worthy of our visit in her home country.
