[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Definitely work out the cost. Our best trips are same hotel, we each book our own room and pay for separately. At meals, we split bill evenly. No haggling over who owes what.

We've also been invited to stay in friend's vacation home. 4 total couples, including the hosts. They assigned the rooms. 2 of us (couples) brought plenty of wine, then went to the store with the owners (they wanted to do it this way) and we paid for the groceries. When we went out, we and the other couple split the bills. The 4th invited couple were very obviously out of their league and thought they were getting a free vacation. (Which they did.) And slightly younger than the rest of us and only the host couple knew. Once we realized this, we and the other couple accepted we'd be paying for the weekend. Worth every penny to stay in a beautiful house with good friends. Great memories. But it could have been frustrating had we not been okay with paying.

All to say that it's easy to have expectations when you are staying in hotels. Not as easy when you are staying in someone's home.[/quote]

I should add here that there are all sorts of expenses for the hosts in their vacation home, none of which we had to pay. Meaning, that if you stay in someone's vacation home, you should expect to repay with food and going out.[/quote]
