Afternoon sign ins at IAD (12 min drive), two legs per day, US controllers, no jet lag, no time zones, no international hullabaloo. I'm digging it. Like you said above, to each their own.
Since I have been "domesticated", I find that international doesn't have quite the allure it once did either. I still love doing them, but I am just as happy with 2 legs/day, daytime domestic trips. Some are not as "productive" but I do sleep a lot better...
And since I have embraced the suck, I don't mind going to the ATL.
