Just Where Is Kona, Hawaii? Hawaii is the most isolated place on earth, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Hawaii is over 2,500 miles of ocean away from the nearest continent. And Kona is even a bit more isolated than the rest of Hawaii.
Kona may be ‘far away’ but it is closer to heaven…

“I Read The News Today – Oh Boy…” Instead of obsessing, for hours a day, over every word from CNN, Fox News or MSNBC, you will find happiness in just watching a half-hour of local news from HawaiiNewsNow, KHON2 or Island News and wondering how and why you were ever so caught up in any news involving bickering.
And, when you do watch a bit of US national news coupled with the distance away, plus the Hawaiian time zone difference, it just makes any news feel even… further away.
