Warren,
I shoot RAW - I am a professional photographer. The most efficient way to deal with your photos while travelling is to use two portable drives. Offload the CF Cards to one and then use light room to export jpgs to a 2nd one and burn the CD at the end of that. Use Windows Explorer to copy the RAW to one of the drives as backup. Otherwise, I have been able to upload finished jpgs without a problem to Smugmug. Not the RAW files though. Workflow on board for long periods of time is an issue with RAW.
