Thank you to those who gave me the info about the "nicer" 1st class seats - that is what I want in the red eye back!
Yes, this August. We are idiots and do everything last minute.

The flight there is a day flight.

We liked the Montage.
We booked a semi-private small plane to take us to the big island to see the volcanos since the kids wanted to see them. There is a small airport up near Kapalua. It was a little windy though so be warned. Lahaina is still in shambles.

Don't go to Hawaii. Overpriced and over hyped.

NP. Sometimes we've been given the individual pod, lie flat seats on larger planes (777; 787) on domestic flights. Other times (like a 737), they're just wider seats, spaced further apart.

If you fly American and connect through DFW and fly straight to Maui you’ll have a nice long leg in first class.

Your best bet for premium first class is to fly into chicago or den on United, and connect to Maui on a flight with a 777 or 787 for the longer portion of your travel.

There was a great grocery store north of Ka’anapali that had the best fresh guacamole and freshest salads, but I can’t find it on Google maps.
Probably not doable for August. I booked/paid this six months in advance as an anniversary present, the second my parents announced their trip, and they had limited availability then.
It was totally overrated anyway. No loss for OP.
