getting around

Traveling from place

Getting around means moving from place to place, especially within a city or region: It's easy to get around Portland without a car.

The phrase also means circumventing an obstacle or rule: There's no getting around the fact that we're broke.

To get around to something is to finally do it after delay: I never got around to reading that book.
