Hi and Welcome to the Forum!
I've just travelled with mine too, so much easier than a laptop, especially at airports!
The IPad Forum is a Community of members from all walks of life and from all over the world coming together to share our experiences and to help each other learn about this wonderful piece of technology the IPad.
There is a wealth of information already here in the many threads we have so doing some searches will answer most of the questions that you have. If then you can't find the answer you are seeking, then by all means post your question. You will find many friendly and informed members here only too willing to help you.
We also have our own App - Discussion Forum for IPad Users It is a very simple app to navigate.
