Is there any difference in meaning hetween talk with each other and talk together? For example:

My family and I stayed in last night, so we had plenty of time to talk with each other.

My family and I stayed in last night, so we had plenty of time to talk together.

If there is no difference, then which one is more common? Would it be even more natural to just omit with each other and together altogether?

    More common is the simpler "we had plenty of time to talk." It is presumed you were talking with "one another" so that can be left out.

No difference. However 'talk together' is more grammatically correct. The reason is you are already together, so 'with' (meaning 'in a group') is unnecessary.

    "talk together" is not more grammatically correct. Both sentences are fully correct. I would actually say that "talk with each other" is probably slightly more idiomatic, so actually a better choice, but not by a large amount.
