Well, not everybody wants to look like Tom Hanks in "Cast Away" just because they're on vacation, hence the shaver.
iPod's are great for long distance flights and long waits at the airport (and anywhere else you have to wait).
Some say you shouldn't bring cell phones and laptops on vacation, I highly disagree. Cell phones can be major timesavers if you're lost, or looking for accomodations or places to eat, etc, plus for parents who didn't bring kids along it's a nice way to keep in touch with the sitters. And they are invaluable in case of an emergency.
As long as you don't use it for work, a laptop is great to have if you have internet access (especially broadband) as it allows you to check on things to do in a particular city, book activities, etc. Plus if it has a DVD player, it's another form of entertainment on an airplane.

I am going to Fiji in about 3 weeks.
I found this unit http://www.walkabouttravelgear.com/surge.htm that will work about anywhere. For Fiji you will add the plug 6 G.
Make sure your chargers or power supplies have an input rating for 220 volts 50 HZ
Most computer supplies and camera chargers are 120 to 220 volt 50/60 hz.

Hodge Podge:
Just so people don't get confused this is just a very basic surge protector with a poor rating and in practice will do nothing more than convert the pin connections.
Your equipment will still need to have a full range input voltage typically 90-240V AC or be switchable 110/220.
A clamping voltage of 775V is not really going to offer much protection and the power rating of only 150 joules is poor. The data sheet doesn't say what the secondary protection is if you exceed the 150joules rating. The photo doesn't let you see if there is a replaceable fuse.
