There are two things people love—in fact, they crave: Getting away from it all at a great destination, and being with family and friends.

With more gadgets than ever before to keep us “connected,” it seems harder and harder to actually get together one-on-one. So when we finally take time to unplug, what we really want is to reconnect in person with those closest to us. It’s time out for what really matters!

Getting Away Together is a new TV series airing on PBS member stations highlighting the rapidly growing trend of sharing a vacation rental with friends and family. From girlfriend getaways to family reunions and milestone celebrations, the series shows diverse groups of real travelers vacationing together in some of the most fascinating destinations across America.

They will experience the activities, dining, history and scenery that some of America’s most beautiful destinations have to offer. They’ll share their feelings about getting back together and why it is so important to them to do so.

Real people. Real vacations. Real memories.
