If you give her your reasoning, she'll be more likely to listen. When she's not too busy, you can let her know that you would really like to go again, and that you are capable to going on a trip by yourself or with your cousin (you already have before, and everything turned out fine). You should also give her details, such as who will pick you up from the airport in CA, exactly where/with whom you will be staying, ticket information, etc. The more details, the better- it will make her feel more reassured (if she has any questions herself, make sure to let her know whatever she wants).
One of two things could happen:
a) she'll let you go again or
b) she won't let you go, maybe since you were there recently, or it may be expensive, or maybe she would rather go along with you.
Anyway, you can try your best, and see what she says. [ ciao77's advice column | Ask ciao77 A Question ]

You said you went before & if everything turned out alright, explain that to her & how you were responsible with the previous trip & you'll make sure you'll do the same again. You can call her as soon as you get there & call her daily. Also, you are going to visit family. It's for a purpose, not so you can just go to goof around. You're also going to have fun & explain that you know what you're doing & things went okay last time. If she doesn't want you to go, there's nothing you can really do about it. Be respectful because she is your mother, but try to discuss this with her & explain how you feel about it. Maybe you guys can come up with a plan or agreement about how often you call her & explain what exactly you are going to do while you're there. She can also check in on you by talking to your family members. If you talk to her in an adult fashion, the whole conversation will go a lot better.
