Traveling with your girl is a big step in a relationship. It can either strengthen your bond or tear you apart. Take heed of the advice below.
Study Up

Know what you're getting yourselves into before you get in the car in order to minimize bickering. This means research. Look into expenses, activities, maps, sight seeing, restaurants, and anything else that might interest you. Researching can be fun if you do it together over drinks or dinner before your departure. It will get both of you in the spirit, & will ward off unwanted surprises later on. You just don't want to have to deal with your girlfriend once she discovers that the sole cuisine in most restaurants is beef & pork, and she's vegan.
Compromise
Chances are you both may need to sacrifice a bit of your own desires to please one another while on your trip. If this doesn’t go both ways one of you will feel disappointed or worse. Maybe you want to check out the famous landmarks while she wants to go sip beers of the world at the pub. Well, join her at the pub one day, and the next she can join you on a touring excursion.
Ms. Independence

If there's simply too much to do & not enough time, agree to venture out on your own on a few occasions. Arrange a mutually convenient meeting place & time, and hook up later. Not only does it allow you a bit of space, but you'll also, hopefully, miss each other and have more to talk about when you do rendezvous.
Madame Butterfly
Flutter around & be social so you can meet other people or couples. It’ll broaden your horizons and give you others to talk to and do things with.
