Island fever is real, and despite living in a tropical island paradise, sometimes we need to get away for a while. Unfortunately, when you live in the world’s most isolated population center, vacations are tricky to plan — and don’t seem worth it when you only have a single weekend. Unless that is, you hop on an hour-long flight to one of the neighboring Hawaiian Islands and choose one town or geographic area to explore. Nestled on the northern tip of Hawaii Island just an hour from the Kona International Airport is Hawi, a funky little town you’ll love.
