Hi Rodolfo,
the only REAL problem is you have 230 VAC in Europe instead of 120 VAC in North America. Everything else will not affect your adapter, but this will! Last time I was in USA I tried to find and buy a transformer 2:1 -- assuming US citizens will also meet this problem when they leave their continent. Apparently, however, the number of people doing this is too small to offer such a product in "normal" shops. I do not have a better explanation so far.
Good luck!

Using American AC adapters is no problem in the UK. Just buy a US to UK adapter from Maplin, this has a 240v to 110v transformer inside and the adapter and the right UK plug and US socked built in. See this link:

DONT try to connect a US AC adapter direct to UK mains!!!!!
Happy Christmas.
