I’m sitting in the guest bedroom in one of the most elegant homes in Provincetown, MA, better known as Ptown. I am visiting friends who have summered here for over a decade. I’m not suppose to brag, but their house has something most of us don’t have, and have learned to live without, ample electrical outlets.

You have never seen anything like this. My bedroom has eight pairs of electrical outlets. Each wall has two separate outlets, four places in total to plug in my electronic devices.

The first thing I did when I saw all of the available power, was to plug in every device I owned. Most of my digital equipment is stored in a plastic bag so this was a good chance to use them all at once.

I asked my friend why there were so many sockets in her house? She replied, “They’re called electrical outlets, not sockets.” DigiDame stands corrected. Then she explained that because she traveled so much and stayed at countless hotels, she was able to see the necessity for a multitude of outlets.

She noticed that most hotel rooms have a scarce number of electrical outlets. She promised herself that once her 1857 Ptown home was restored, every bedroom would get an generous number of outlets to accommodate the digital lifestyles of today.

I’m loving it. Finally, someone who understands the need to charge. Thank you pal.
