No idea how practical it is, but Hawaii is lovely. (Though Honolulu is not it's best part.)
Coming back: well I lived in HK for six years, so I'd recommend there ;-) Teen will love the shopping. Lots of countryside and beaches as well though. And fun things like getting onto ferries to visit outlying islands. Plus heaps of temples and other more trad things. In fact a lot of the fun of HK is the juxtaposition of the very traditional up against the very modern. And trams. (There's also Disneyland if that kind of thing appeals.)
Singapore is also good though, and less frenetic. If you have a bit more time than just a one night stopover I'd recommend going up into Malaysia - go up into the hills to the tea plantations.
Personally I wouldn't stopover in Dubai or elsewhere in Middle East if I could help it. Though day trip out into the desert might be fun. And I might make an exception if Oman were the proposed stopover place.
Air New Zealand do some pretty good round the world tickets. (And serve delicious wine.)
