Using an iPad rather than a laptop as an adjunct to a camera

I did a search and found surprisingly little. I am going on a trip soon and am planning on getting back to more active photography during the trip and when I return. I purchased for the trip, using points, a Sony DSC-RX100 vI and am planning on shooting RAW+JPEG with it. I am leaving the Canon DSLR home this time.

I would like to experiment using an iPad for initial backup (I have the adaptor) and even editing. Most of the hotels, perhaps all, that I stay in will have free WiFi so I would like to do online backups as well. Is Picasa the way to go with this? If so what is the most efficient way to transfer from the iPad to Picasa.

Do people have any suggestions on workflow or software to use on an iPad. Photoshop Touch looks to certainly be worth a try but are there others. I have 4x32 gb cards I am planning to carry which should get me between 3000 and 4000 images sets (RAW+JPEG) which should be enough but I would like to back them up.

Do people have any comments on the Lightroom on the iPad? I much prefer Lightroom to Photoshop on the Mac but have no experience on the iPad. Also, comments on iPhoto for the iPad.

Thanks for any help.
