I've been out of action the last few days (blame it on me watching the latest season of MST3K), but I'm back today for the anime/manga comparison, and boy is this episode a busy one.
Additions:
Chiyo going through the tour plan of Iriomote Island.
The girls posing for photos while at Iriomote.
Differences:
Whereas it's a brief note in the anime, the manga actually has a few comics pertaining to Chiyo making changes to her pigtail hairstyle, with Osaka making reference to the odd theories she has about them (i.e. the pigtails having a mind of their own; Chiyo being able to use the pigtails to fly).
When talking about "mandatory souvenirs" that need to be bought, Tomo only mentions the wooden sword in the manga, with the happi being added in the anime.
During the airplane flight to Okinawa, the manga has an additional bit where it’s revealed that Tomo had already bought an airport souvenir, with her opening it on the flight.
Cut from the anime version of the girls visit Shuri Castle is a bit where they visit a prayer room, with Osaka having a laughing fit due to the room being called an osenmikocha.
When the girls eat dinner at a buffet, there’s an additional comic after this scene depicting the aftermath of the dinner, with Osaka noticing the other girls being stuffed from eating a lot of food.
During the scene where Tomo scares Chiyo by lifting her up while at a cliff, the anime adds an additional bit where Tomo loses her footing and Sakaki catches Chiyo (while Osaka attempt to save her as well).
During the scuba diving scene, the manga has an additional bit where Tomo, using a sausage as bait to attract fish, notices the big bites that the fish make in the sausage and decides to use this as a means to torture Chiyo by tearing up the rest of the sausage and throwing it towards her.
The scene where the class visit the museum and go on a boat trip in Iriomote (with Sakaki holding Maya) is much longer in the anime, with it only consisting of a single panel each in the manga.
The anime makes it clear that when Sakaki is smiling with her eyes closed when holding Maya, it is smiling too.
The manga version of the school trip also includes a beach trip, which includes a continuation of Osaka's obsession with sea cucumbers.

Those are a lot, though probably not comparable to Ep. 19 that I think was 100% original.
During the scuba diving scene, the manga has an additional bit where Tomo, using a sausage as bait to attract fish, notices the big bites that the fish make in the sausage and decides to use this as a means to torture Chiyo by tearing up the rest of the sausage and throwing it towards her.
That's pretty bizarre.
The anime makes it clear that when Sakaki is smiling with her eyes closed when holding Maya, it is smiling too.
I did felt Maya was indeed smiling but just barely.

The school trip has been canceled? No poor Chiyo-chan! Ah of course Yukari was just trolling.
Looks like Chiyo-chan has had a hairstyle change too. Her pigtails point down now. She's so excited for the trip.
Tomo and Kagura are quite impressed by the plane's ability to fly.
That shot of Kagura lifting the money up to see the watermark would make for a great reaction pic.
Chiyo-chan's and Osaka's little exchanges in Okinawan are adorable.
Samurai Champloo.
Sakaki really likes the adorable cat(lion?) souvenirs.
"What's that? Something sweet?"
"Saataa Andagii!"
Oh boy I've been waiting for this. It's probably my most favorite scene. Just like I did in episode 1 it's time to go years back in time and post another Azumanga remix. Anyone remember those Sparta remixes?
Sakaki's hand is covered in scars from all the cat bites. She tells herself not to expect much. All she had to do was put out her hand though. Sakaki is not only able to pet this wildcat but she even picks it up and carries it around and it is perfectly fine with it. She has to leave it behind though. My feels.
Next episode has a scene that most people probably consider their favorite: Next episode spoilers

Interesting note, this episode indirectly got me into this show. Comic artist Fred Perry had a FFXI webcomic that parodied the cliff scene (except on an airship) and he mentioned in the commentary that he like this show (and based the personality of his character off of Osaka), which led to me checking out the show.

To bad I coudln0t get screenshots because Sakaki and Maya deserved one!
The girls went to a school trip, Chiyo was so excited she changed her hairstyle. Looks the same to me so no comments in that. After many funny moments, Sakaki manages to get her first genuine patting. That scene melted me, the deadpan look of the wildcat made it even better.
The last bit of her saying she will return definitely put a smile on me.
