Black Friday seen from an outsider!

[gdorrego]

Hi, I live in Lima-Peru South America and I am arriving to Florida just on BF morning (5:30 a.m), I am very excited about BF,so I am planning wich stores to go first (making my itinerary with mapquest), the question is: Will I have the chance to get something good (laptops, digital cameras, etc) considering the time of my arrival? Any advice or suggestions?:)

If you get to any store at 5:30am, it's probably too late for big items like cameras, laptops, etc. Those are usually limited (esp the laptops) and people get in line HOURS before opening.

It's worth a shot though. But if the store opens at 6 and you get there half an hour before, you'll probably see hundreds upon hundreds already in line - depending on the location of the store and the store itself. :)

There a better than not chance you won't get any of those but if you know somebody in the states, maybe they can wait in line for you. Just a thought

Are you arriving at 5:30 am? If so, you have to factor in delays, getting your luggage. At the earliest, you'll leave the airport at 6 am.

Best bet is get someone you know to get in in line for you.

Too bad the shops in the airport don't participate in BF!
Hopefully you have a person who can stand in line for you until you arrive.

Have fun! Sometimes, it is just as much fun to grab the $10 deal as it is the big ticket things.

Probably a little to late for the really good deals...:(

Does Peru use 110/120 V (like the USA)?

Or do they use 220/240 V (like Europe, Asia, & Australia)?

If you don't use the same current that we use, you might have to use your purchases with a bulky transformer like this one:

Also, do your plugs look like we use in the USA:

Or are they different, like this:
