Given that OP has lots to learn already, I don't think adding RAW processing into the mix would be a good idea. At most I would suggest RAW + JPG option, at least then there is a JPG ready to use immediately and RAW if it is needed.
I'd say they would be better shooting more frames and learning what makes a good photo before getting concerned with RAW.
Another thought: I would advise taking a netbook or some other way to backup your photos while you are there. Pack the backup in a different bag to your memory cards on the way home.
