Leonie,

Perhaps another question that would have some bearing on this is whether you plan to remain in the US or if it is just temporary. If you plan to remain in the US it might be best to avoid installing special circuits and receptacles. You would have to weigh the expense against the expected lifetime of the item. Perhaps the dual voltage items can have US plugs installed on them. Some other items not of dual voltage can have special circuits installed if necessary, but things like hairdryers are really not worth the expense of installing anything special and they do have a relatively short life expectancy from what I've seen. Sentimental items (if they are not electronic) can be dealt with somehow I'm sure.

Sorry, I don't know anything about the British PAL system. Possibly someone else here can help with that.
