• Don't be afraid to pump the ISO up to get those night street shots that'll memorialize and personalize your trip for you and those with you.
  
• Be sure to shoot people, including those in your party and some locals. Don't just focus on scenic landscapes and buildings.
  
• Consider taking your tripod for the occasional long exposure night shot, particularly if there's water. I have a four-section tripod so that it'll fit in my suitcase.
