ORIGINAL: LafayetteLady Hawaii is a state, not a territory. Puerto Rico is a territory, not a state. Midway Island is about 1100 miles NW of Honolulu so it is closer to Hawaii than anywhere else. It is a US territory and not part of the state of Hawaii, however. I lived there for a time and my youngest son is the second to the last baby to be born there. You must be replying to someone else about Puerto Rico which I know is a territory.
