Hi Stan, Thanks. I'm looking at LR CC, not Classic CC.
For the time being I'm only thinking about when I travel in Europe, predominantly France, where hotels generally have fast enough wifi, so there's no need for an unlimited data plan. I think, but could be wrong, that if I travel in the wilds, the edits will be stored locally and synced when a suitable wifi connection is available, but I could still post a snap or two over a phone connection, if one is available.
