I have done this before, never for an entire week... but a couple of days no and again in a row... I also used to go up one night a week on a regular basis as well... but now with a family that isn't so easy....

I always found the drives where easy... start in NH such that you come down into 128 just after the rush, and work late and head back up just after the rush....

I also met a guy one time that was preparing for retirement... As his wife was already retired, and they had found there dream retirement home in the lakes region, he was in the middle of commuting from Laconia, to Boston, for the final two years of his working career.... His comments, was the biggest adjustment was to his working hours so that he could miss traffic... after that he said the rest was easy... he had always gotten up before his wife, however instead of one hour, it was now 3 hours earlier.... His only regret was that the last car he thought he would by for himself suddenly had over 100,000 miles, and he wanted to replace it before he retired.....
