For some great practical suggestions for travel photography (or photography in general), check out Timothy Allen's site on Human Planet:
http://humanplanet.com/timothyallen/2011/07/take-better-travel-photographs/Of particular interest is the use of "back button" focusing. Once you have tried and gotten the hang of it, you will never go back to front button focusing on the shutter release. I do a lot of yacht racing photography on the water and find this technique invaluable for a 95% "in-focus" rate.
thanks for the info, i'm going to try this out!
My favorite way of focusing as well.
