    Macbook chargers are multi voltage - they'll operate off of anything between 100-240V, so there's no issue with voltage. All you need is a simple travel adapter to allow you to plug your UK charger into US sockets.

    One of these may be worth looking at, Charges macbook & a USB device, comes with just about every international plug option

    Thanks for that, I like that one. Is there any difference in the 60 & 85 watt ones? It's a 13" pro, thanks

    Don't think so but 12 south would be the people to check with

    The difference is that the 60 watt may not be quite strong enough when an 85 watt charger is what was supplied. If it does work (Usually it will work, mind.) it may take somewhat longer to charge that the 85 watt will; you may also find that power intensive applications might cause you a wee bit of grief. Using the 85 watt instead of the 60 watt won't do any harm though it won't charge up any quicker as a result.
