California to Ensenada

What to Bring for "Futbol De Playa"
     
CONCERN #1: Don't drink the water?...No longer true!
  The water supply to the hotel is clean and safe. You can still bring your own, but it's not necessary.
 
CONCERN #2: Is the voltage different? Will my hairdryer work?
  The hotel has power similar to that found in the U.S. Your portable stereo, battery chargers, hairdryers, curling irons, etc. will work safely.
Well then...What do I need to bring?
