My Father did one from New York to Durham, NC for the better part of three years. He would take a 6 AM flight from his house in NC to New York on Monday then return to NC on Thursday or Friday evening. At least once every two months something would go wrong and he'd get stuck in New York losing a day. It was very tiring on him but it strengthened my parents marriage.
I think he appreciates retirement now more than most as that's over. Plus, he got to be EXP for the first and only time in his life during 2006-2008.
