Answer 1 :
For England you will not only need an adapter but the current is different. The US is 110 volts, in England it is 240volts so make sure your converter actually changes the current as well. It's a bit misleading because these websites call them adapters and they only basically change a 2 pin plug to a 3 pin plug but the current stays the same. check this site out. http://www.enjoy-europe.com/hte/chap11/electric.htm
Answer 2 :
Go to best buy or radio shack and they will have a plug adapter for you. This will allow you to change the adapter to w/e country you are in. However make sure....you appliances can handle the watts. If not then it will get fried and that is not a good thing. The only thing i am worried about is the hair dryer. Are you staying in a hotel maybe they will have one for you.
Answer 3 :
Although we in England have a different system than the rest of Europe, You should be able to but one adaptor that will do the lot. I use this one,made by Swiss Travel Products.

Answer 4 :
You can get universal travel adaptors at most airports. See http://www.kropla.com/electric2.htm for which style of plug is required for each country. You haven't said where you are from so make sure your equipment will handle the 220V at 50Hz used in the countries you've listed.
