If I understand you correctly, we are talking a 3 hour 1 way drive or 6 hours a day for 6 weeks. This is a very bad idea even if he is not sick. Do try to find a place to stay. Definitely have plan ready in case the trip becomes too much for you or him. Is there someplace romantic that is not too expensive closer to the center. Maybe you could treat the first part of this as a vacation. Doing six hours every day is insanity. Neither of you will last. Perservance and bullheadedness is good to help you through this, but don't drain your what energy the two of you have to get through this by trying to drive this daily. What is the point? Try it for a few days and I think you will agree. I take a 4 hour drive to Saratago every year for vacation and still wish I had a magic carpet to get me there. I cannot imagine trying to do this daily for 6 weeks. Hope it works out for you but I would have a backup plan.

Take care,
