outlets

My hotel room has one (1) conveniently accessible not-in-use electrical outlet in the main part of the room. (It has a pair of outlets by the sink, though they had a hair dryer and coffee maker plugged into them.) One outlet, in the base of a lamp at the desk. What modern-day business traveler can get by with just one outlet? I've got a laptop, cell-phone charger and MP3-player charger (for the desk) and an electric toothbrush charger (unless I forget it, like this time) and a beard trimmer (or others an electric shaver) (unless forgotten) to plug in by the sink.

One outlet just doesn't cut it for the modern business traveler.

Pshhht. I stayed in an hotel room wher the coffee maker, two table lamps, the TV, and the alarm clock were plugged into a splitter, which was plugged into a splitter, all of the above plugged into a very wobbly outlet.
