Every person has a different choice and being an understanding partner, you must respect the other person. Every decision you make your partner should be taken into confidence.
Rather than barging the holiday plan according to your choice, compromise on some occasions. If your partner is a shopaholic and you on the other hand loathe the idea, spare some time for your partner’s sake. So that you might get the same welcoming response to do something of your interest when the other person is not entirely into it.
Be considerate:
From the very beginning during the planning stage be considerate and always have an ear for your companion’s interest. Living together lets you know about the other person, their likes, dislikes, allergies, obsessions, etc. So be cautious and sensitive about these issues if you are planning a surprise holiday plan.
Use each other’s strength:

For instance, one can make the plan who is good in planning and the other who is good with maps can take care of the directions while exploring a new place. Similarly, if one of the mates is fluent in the local language then the ability can be used very proficiently in new town.
Avoid crowds, choose some place private:
Try choosing private places to talk to each other. Enjoy the candle light dinners, have a walk on the beach under the star-lit sky or get a nice dip in the water where interference of onlookers are less likely. This way you might be able to get most out of your little adventure together.
Try to avert a crisis:
Trying something new always comes with a pack of surprises you never know what tomorrow holds for you, so get ready to face every possible and sometimes also be prepared for some dreadful situations. Make up your mind to experience this part of your life with open heart and open mind. In case you encounter any crisis, do not panic take a deep breath, keep calm and just know that it too shall pass. Discuss it with your partner and find a way out of it without playing the blame game card.
Make your holiday exciting:
Last but not the least, this holiday break is going to be a great breakthrough in your relationship as sometimes, such plans make or break the relationship. So be sensitive about each other’s feelings. Do not plan everything that interests you only, get to understand what your partner likes and add some things of their interest as well.
Be stress-free, cool and calm and do not let any argument mess your beautiful time out. In case, you get some free time, do not ruin it by letting monotony come in the way and make it exciting by yourself. This way this holiday will certainly be a heavenly break for you, one you will remember throughout your life.
