Although quite a trip from Boston, it's definitely one of the best spots we've been to recently. Flight time is about 5.5 hrs to SF and then 4.5 hrs to Hawaii. Hawaii is 5 more time zones to the West (i.e. 11 from Germany)

Maui:
we went to Haleakala, the volcano, Hana Highway, the tropical winding road to Hana, Paia, the Windsurfer paradise close to Hookipa as well as a lot of other places.
