Itching for a weeklong getaway after one too many winter days trapped inside, I found myself scanning flights in search of somewhere warm. My interest was immediately piqued when I stumbled upon a nonstop round-trip flight to Oʻahu on Hawaiian Airlines. I spent much of 2019 flying back and forth between the East Coast and Oʻahu for a work assignment and quickly fell head over heels for the island’s beautiful scenery and laid-back vibe. It had been almost a year since my work travel came to an abrupt halt and this flight to Honolulu was calling my name.
