i'm leaving on the trip on friday which rules out ordering anything... i'm thinking radioshack or best buy... my laptop power supply says:

Output: 20V -- 4.51A
its a dell... 20V is higher than anyone mentioned on here... will the $40 radioshack one work? I know that the laptop adapters for DC power exist, but i'd rather have the inverter since in the future, i'd like to be able to use this for more than just the laptop. let me know if the radioshack one will work since i'm going to head there after work tomorrow...
Your laptop will draw up to 90.2W of power, so a 150W power inverter will work fine.
EDIT: Ignore what I just said there...looks like that brick power supply is horribly inefficient, the power supply will draw up to 150W of power at 100V input - I'd go with one over 200W just to be safe.
