After an unprecedented year we are finally able to do more than dream of a getaway, we are able to get away! Local Getaways is here to help inspire you on where to go, encourage you to discover the places that are often traveled and those less often traveled. We’ll showcase the hidden gems and give you the stories behind them. Focusing on the best of the communities, not only will you feel like you have been on a getaway, you’ll learn what it is like to live like a local, no matter where you decide to venture!

Our first stop—Hawaii!

Hawaii is not a state of mind but a state of grace.
— Paul Theroux

Hawaii is still the single most frequent fantasy destination, not because of political stability or conveniences, but because Hawaii seduces the imagination. It’s the perfect postcard – no props, no fillers.
