- Create a shared expense fund. Each contribute equal amounts of cash to a ziplock bag and pay for shared expenses from that bag. When the bag is empty, refill it together. This will save you from keeping a ledger for items like taxi fares and tipping. However, discuss in advance what splurges you want to make. Proper etiquette dictates that the one who requires luxuries will have to pay for most, if not all of them.
- Plan how you would like to spend your free time. Walk through your itinerary day by day to see where your ideas differ. If one of you wants to spend time shopping, but the other doesn't want to, plan to spend some time apart.
- Consider sharing meals. You might try each ordering a dish and sharing. Or, pick an entree and salad to share. This makes it easier to split the bill equally and try a variety of dishes.
- Discuss fears and needs. You may both want to know if one of you requires complete silence or darkness when sleeping. Also, if one of you has a fear of heights or crowds, these are things to disclose up front.
