Our house has been wireless for years and all our computers are laptops, so an iPad seems of limited value. In your case it sounds as if you need a portable way to surf, so an iPad might be OK.
If you want to consume a lot of web content, read PDFs, online newspapers and magazines, or load it up with lots of apps then iPads can be very good. Apps can really add value for some people.
I know a few guys who use iPads as laptop replacements for travel. With a separate keyboard they say they work pretty well for writing, presentations, spreadsheets, email, the web, etc. But they are all back on a laptop or desktop machine in the office.
Also consider an 11" MacBook Air. If you aren't familiar with the Mac OS, you'll have to learn how that works, so take your pick-- Mac OS or iOS. If I were you I'd do a buy it and try it. Both do the job, but with a very different experience.
