  Hi Susan,
  I did the Grand Southern last year & just took an adapter that goes between the Aussie plug & the US wall socket.
  
  With charging the iPod on the bus, our coach had one charger up with the Tour Manager & you could plug it in to charge while travelling.
  
  I recommend buying the adapter from Strandbags, as they’re only around $20 & you can charge it up in your hotel room at night.
  
  Bare in mind, it will take longer to charge, as the voltage is only 110v there – it wont blow up your iPod though <!--graemlin::)-->
  
  Cheers & have an awesome trip! It was the best time of my life!

  The bus charging stations are just a normal power-board. So any USA Connection will work.
  
  As far as playing your IPOD through the coach sound system, that all depends on your TM. Ours played his own music and never asked anyone else for theirs. So I doubt you will have the chance to showcase your tunes while you are on tour.

  Word of advice if you have multipule electronic devices bring a power strip will make you a hero on your bus with the extra plugs available and you can charge more items at once.
