Questions for daughter traveling to Italy

2. You are generally better off using a CC/debit card

You can check with your card issuer for exchange rates which are often the best you'll find. When traveling overseas, I order a small amount of local currency from my local bank. You only need enough to get by for a day or so. Once you get there you can use a debit card to withdraw cash. I use my debit card for most everything. If she has a smart phone, get a currency converter app. Check with your cell phone provider to find out what the rates are. Text and data can get quite expensive, but calls shouldn't be too bad.

For the laptop, you'll need an adapter. Check the specs on it and it should say something like 110-230v, 50/60 hz. If so you'll only need a plug adapter and not a heavier transformer adapter.
