Charging MP3 players

I'm not sure if this is the right forum, please feel free to move it if needed. We are going on holidays to the US shortly. Two of the kids MP3 players we usually charge by hooking them up to the USB on the home PC. We don't have a lap top so we are not taking any computers with us. So we are looking for a way to charge…

Has anybody come up against this before and if so what solution did you find?
Thanks in adv.

There are devices that plug into a power socket and have a usb port allowing you to charge a usb powered device from the mains. I don't think they work for everything though.

Yep we have one of them and it works for a couple of other devices we have. But not for their two MP3 players. How did we survive years ago when everything ran on batteries?
