I is a subject, me is an object.... so...
1. You and I will be travelling to England on the 12th of August.
but....
2. If they look throught the window, they will be able to see both you and me.
That �s how I was taught... Naturally, spoken modern English is more flexible and in everyday speech you will find both mixed, though it doesn �t mean it �s correct.

It depends on the usage of each phrase. If the subject is being talked about it is "You and I". "You and me" is usually used for the object. A good rule of thumb is to take away the first pronoun and see if the sentence still makes sense or is correct grammatically.

you and I=we
you and me=us
so to know which one to use , you can decide about which one gives the meaning(we or us).
hope it helps

you and I =Used as Nominative Function of Noun (Subject, Subject Complement, Direct Address or Appositive)
you and me= used as Objective Functions of Nouns (Direct Object, Indirect Object, Object of Preposition)
You can research these functions of nouns via internet also.
God Bless!
