Help in learning how to shoot in manual mode

One of my new years resolutions is to use my camera much much more often. Since i got my G7 a few months a go i have only used it really once on a family visit to Pennsylvania and new jersey. But in 2016 i want to learn how to shoot in manual shooting mode to shoot long exposures, landscapes and shots at night. I want to learn because i love exploring and travel, and i want to capture moments to remember. I have a trip planned to Costa Rica in Jan and Belize in April. And i want to be able to take some great photos while im there.

Any tips or tutorials you guys or girls would recommend for a beginner? one thing i plan on doing is taking my camera everywhere and just start shooting and practicing. For now i have the basic kit lens that came with the camera. I will wait to buy another lens after my skill increases.

Thanks ahead of time for all the tips and suggestions. Happy new year 2016 to ALL!
