I currently only own a 50mm f/1.8, but am borrowing my buddy's 24-70 f/2.8 for the trip.
I chatted with a photographer buddy for a while about using the camera, but would be interested in tips from you folks here...

Don't reinvent the wheel. If you feel iffy on settings use Canon's auto button and press the shutter half way down. You will see what settings the camera things you should be at. Take that information and play around with it some. It is nice because it puts you in the ballpark and you can change different things and see what the effect is.
