Hi ladies! I kind of need some advice and I know it might sound stupid, like why am I posting this and not asking my friends?? Well most of my friends are not in relationships and the few who are are engaged so I have no friends who are dating boyfriends or girlfriends. It's either engagement or no relationship at all.

Anyways, my boyfriend and I have been together for over two years now and we're both 19 in college and have jobs. Well, we're at a community college right now since we both had scholarships to get two year free tuition and we will be transferring to a four year college for next fall.

We've decided that we really want to go on a mini vacation to the beach next summer since he's never seen the ocean and before we go into a pretty good size of debt from the four year college. We wouldn't be going until June so there's still plenty of time but we've been looking at places already just to get an estimate of how much to save up.

We've looked at numerous hotels, but they're all so expensive! Even the "cheap" ones away from the beach. So, I decided to look on Air bnb to find something and we found a nice little one bedroom house that we can stay in for 3 nights and it's less than staying just 2 nights at any of the nearby hotels!

My boyfriend's all for it, it's cheap, but it's a beautiful little place, and not far from public beach access and has its own fishing pier! I've read the reviews and it sounds incredible, even with some of the bad reviews, the pros outweigh the cons.

Now, I need some advice. Both of our families are VERY conservative. We both live at home because community colleges typically don't offer dorms and we do not make enough money to support ourselves if we were to rent an apartment separate or together. We're really not sure how to bring it up to our parents that we want to go away, just us, for three nights. The place we're looking at is one bedroom with one bed, so of course we'd be sharing a bed together.

I know both families are worried about an accidental pregnancy, but the only sex we have is oral and we've both decided that we'd like to wait to have penetrative sex. Also, my family knows I'm on birth control (period reasons), but I'm scared that they'll take it the wrong way when we tell everyone our plans. My family, I can deal with. But his? I'm scared to death! I don't want them thinking that we're just going down there to have sex and then come back pregnant. We're responsible and know to be careful even if we did decide to have sex. Neither of us want children, so we don't want to have bigger risks than we need to.

Since we live with our parents, we have to ask them if we can go. So I guess my question is, what would be the best way to ask? I know it's over a year away, but we both are having anxiety over it and it would really help to have some advice! How do we explain that we're not going to do anything "stupid" and that we just want to go to the beach together? I'd love to tell my aunt about it soon since she knows everything there is to know about traveling and could help us plan our trip and have a budget, but I'm scared to mention it because she might think something's going on or she'll think of us differently.

We'll be 20 by the time we go, so it shouldn't be a big deal. Maybe we're just psyching ourselves out? But we could really use some advice please!

Thanks!
