Our flagship store Going In Style Travel Accessories at Stanford Shopping Center is still open during construction. Going In Style Travel Accessories at 609 Stanford Shopping Center, Palo Alto, Ca 94304 is open during remodel even though the entrance near the former Ralph Lauren Polo store is closed off. Due to construction, the NE Stanford Mall entrance facing El Camino Real is closed temporarily. 

If you find yourself at this closed off entrance, don't worry, simply go right and walk towards LaBelle Day Spas & Salons. Continue walking past the day spa and walk around Macy's Men's Store until you get to the NW Stanford Mall entrance, also known as Palantine Court, facing Sand Hill Road. 

Once you get to the Palantine Court Entrance walk pass the Muji Japanese store which will be on your right. You will see White House Black Market clothing store on your left, and once you pass White House Black Market you will take a left towards the Inner Circle.

Going In Style Stanford Travel Store will be on your left across from Travelex Currency Services and The Tailor Maid alterations services store (on the second floor).

The construction will be done summer 2018 and the entrance will be open again then. We hope to see you soon!

About Europe Adapter Plugs and Wall Outlets

Wall outlets in Europe will have different pin configurations than in the United States. Many countries in Continental Europe share the same type of wall outlet while others, like the United Kingdom with have a unique wall outlet ...

Europe uses a two round pin style of adapter plug that fits into Europe's wall outlet that has two round holes to accept the adapter pins. 

Before leaving for your trip, inventory all of your electrics and appliances that you will need to plug in.

First look at all of your plugs. If all of your US style plugs only have two pins then you will only need a non-grounded adapter for your trip. If any of your appliances have a plug with three prongs, two flat pins and one round pin, then you will defiantly need a grounded adapter plug for your trip.

When traveling to most countries in Europe, the Europe Adapter Type Plug will be sufficient. However, some European countries use additional adapters, such as Denmark and Switzerland. Denmark uses a unique, three round pin grounded adapter plug. Switzerland also has a unique grounded plug. 

Italy uses a grounded plug that has three round pins all in a row. Europe, two pin non-grounded plug will work in Denmark, Italy and Switzerland. Just be aware that these countries all have a unique grounded plug. Use Going In Style's Adapter Plug A to Z list to check the adapter for each European country you are visiting.

United Kingdom

The United Kingdom uses a completely different set of adapters than most of Europe. UK, including England, Wales, Northern Ireland ect.  use a large, square, three pin type of adapter plug. If you are traveling from England to France on your Europe trip, this means you will need two different sets of adapters.
