Haven't been to any of those places, so this is general advice.
Bear in mind the adage from Minor White:
That, in a nutshell, is how you avoid what you aptly describe as "look at this [thing]" shots. Look for shapes, patterns, contrasts, juxtapositions. Zoom in, look for details. Look at photos you like, your own work and other's, and think about why you like it. Assign yourself a project: a particular subject (something non-obvious), pattern, shape, or technique, and work on that for a while. Don't always be photographing: spend non-camera time with the group; devote other times to photography (especially early mornings and evenings when the light tends to be more interesting).
Above all, enjoy the trip!
