Nonstop from Florida to Hawaii (Oahu, I assume, since Maui's airport is much smaller) is a very long flight. Figure about 5-6 hours to the west coast and another 5-6 hours to Hawaii.
Honolulu is pretty much like L.A. except in a volcanic setting and with much more indigenous cultural pride.
If you have never been before, I suggest after you hit the big tourist spots like Pearl Harbor (USS Arizona!), Waikiki, North Shore (Get some Matsumoto's shave ice!!), get yourself island-hopped over to Maui or Kauai. They still have some services for tourists, but are much more relaxed, laid-back, and scenic. Much less "big city" like.
I know the advice was unsolicited, I just offered it as my insights from having been a half-dozen times, and have close friends who are native islanders.
