I toured around the US with a bunch of my friends and to make bill paying easier we set up a weekly kitty to pay for hotels, petrol (sorry, gas) bottled water and chocolate.

This seems obvious but lots of people divide as they're going along. We were putting 350 dollars a week into the kitty and then just paid for the bills out of that. No adding or dividing to do. No "I owe you" dramas. Hotel clerks loved us.

Keep the money in an envelope in the glove compartment. When you're not in the car, whoever was sitting in the front passenger seat last is responsible for safeguarding the envelope.

Recycle the envelope at the end of the trip.

If you are planning to use the metro in Moscow, make sure you have a map in Cyrillic as well as English. Obviously the station signs are not in English and if your map doesn't have a Cyrillic translation it's possible to get hopelessly lost underground. Not fun. Or funny.

Until you get back to the UK.
