Best overlap: 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM in Honolulu is 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Boston.
Target 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM in Honolulu, which lands at 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM for the Boston side. Boston is 6 hours ahead of Honolulu, so you've got a workable 4-hour overlap — ideal for a standing meeting around 8:00 AM in Honolulu (2:00 PM in Boston). For part of the year the maths changes: Boston observes daylight saving, Honolulu does not, shifting the overlap by an hour.
