Robert - Here is a site that shows US style grounded plug and outlet that worked for us in Costa Rica:

Avoid this site:

I kept getting another site taking over...

I assume that also means that they deliver 110V 60hz?

Not sure, Niels. We only used battery chargers there and never had any problems.

I looked it up in Lonely Planet a couple of hours after my post, and yes it is 110/60 (same as US).

Most of my battery chargers are rated for automatically going from 110-240V
