My girlfriend and I are wanting to go on a short beach vacation. Hoping to be somewhere we can swim in salt water and stay beachside in USA. We live in Illinois and plan to go in august on a Sunday and come back on a Tuesday, I could really use help with honestly all of it from what beach, where to stay, and how to fly there. Could really use all the help possible, I am in my late twenties and have never planned a vacation before.
