Separate plans for a few hours can make the reunion at dinner better.

Constant togetherness leaves two people nothing to bring back to each other. A few hours apart produces something to tell, and the telling is a large part of what makes company enjoyable in the first place. Time spent separately is not a crack in a shared trip. It is often what refills it.

Build a gap into your next day together on purpose, without treating it as a concession. Come back with one thing you would not have seen otherwise, and ask for theirs first.
