If you'll have your car you can pick up a usb car charger that works through the mokie lighter outlet, or pick up a solar charger (which now reminds me that as a prepper I need one of these to........
)
The xtar wp2 ii charger, 2 bay,about $20 delivered, comes with a car cig lighter adapter. Buy extra spacers, $1, if you ever use short batteries, but 18650 will fit directly.
Don't do what I did and only take your Darwin and as soon as you get to where your going have it stop charging on you. Luckily I found a shop about an hour from where I'm staying that sold lavatubes for 50 bucks with two batts and a charger.

crispy, I plan ahead! I am prepared! I expect whatever can go wrong will! I have a plan A, B, C...! Oh, and an emergency plan or two after that! Analogs are not part of my plan. That's what really scares me!!! 8-o
With all of our great advice, have a wonderful vacation!

I'm definitely going to pick up a dual usb charger just in case for sure and have seen the solar charger too...not a bad idea at all

My g/f and I will have 4 18650's between us and some "out and about" kgo(very near future purchase) and ego style batts too once we go out camping and should be a great getaway
I'm going to Hawaii for a week this summer, I'm planning on taking my Provari, a Darwin if I can get one before then, and some 808s, and I am staying fairly close to Volcano, address stored in my GPS on my phone already. I haven't even thought about juice and such, I suppose I will pack kind of light so I can go spend some money in Volcanos store anyway. Lol.
I was just looking at what I had in my purse today when I went to work.
Just to go to work I packed 3 808's, one 801, a 901 with drip tip on an ego battery, and a 510-t with drip tip on an ego battery. Plus 6 10ml bottles of different juices. Plus a little pouch with extra 808 batteries, 801 batteries, and one ego battery. And all 6 of the PV's were fully charged, fully loaded with juice, and ready to use. All of this fit into a large ego case and one little pouch.
With 3 small chargers, I would have had enough to last a week or more!
I don't always take quite so much. But, I do always take at least half that much. And, if my car wasn't broken right now and I wasn't on the bus, I probably would also have taken something bigger to leave in the car when I went in to work!
Can you imagine what I might take if I was going on a trip?
I always overpack for everything.

Look at the wattage draw of your charger and compare watts/amps to 12v converters that plug into a vehicle convenience outlet. I can run my laptop easily from a 400 watt DC/AC converter. It should run a Li-ion charger just fine.
I have a portable 7000mah USB power source I throw into my bag any time I'm gone longer than overnight. Apart from that, it's usually just two batteries, 4-5 filled cartos, and a couple of small juice bottles (I figure some flavors, like sweet stuff, I won't use up the carto).
At home, however, my backups are pretty extreme, at least 8 batteries and lots and lots of juice and cartos.
