What Exactly Are You Willing to Spend?

If multiple individuals or family members are sharing the cost, be certain that each group understands their responsibilities and has approved a maximum they are willing to chip in. Normally, just one member of the group will be responsible for making the whole reservation and recovering each family member's share.

Make a List of "Wishes" and "Requirements"
