Im from mexico, if I go to europe would I need an AC convertor to charge my ipad or I would only need the outlet plug
iPad, iOS 6.1.4
apple makes a kit for that very thing,

An adapter, not a convertor. The iPad charger handles multiple voltages. The travel kit above or any cheap adapter will work. I use these: http://www.amazon.com/Tmvel-Travel-Grounded-Europe-Adapter/dp/B004BIGBWI/
The charger works on power 100-240VAC, 50-60Hz. You only need a plug adapter.
Cheers, Tom 😉
While the Apple kit is great, for the most part, there is one of each type of adapter, I think two for Europe.
You probably already own the cables.
Please note that the adapters for UK - Ireland and England, use a three prong outlet, while in most of Europe it's a two round prongs. (Some packages call these adapters for Europe or southern Europe. They're the same.)
It's inexpensive to buy three of what you need, depending on your needs. If you're travelling alone or with friends who will buy their own, you'll probably have plenty with three. If you're travelling with family, you might consider more. If that's the case, you might want to consider a power strip with more outlets (some have usb included)
so you can charge phones, ipads, cameras, ipods, etc. all at once. We have been bringing a power strip on vacations and weekend trips for years (in carry-on bags.) Everything gets charged overnight. Someone pointed out in another thread last week that Amazon sells a power strip for the UK, so my guess is that they'll have one for Europe, too.
Individually, the adapters are about $3.00 each. See which will work for you.
Hope this helps.
