I remember when Tom Bradley was built, and he was the mayor. Kind of a cross between Huey Long and Richard Daly.
The airlines in LAX called it "Uncle Tom's Cabin."
Another thought would be to lay over a day or two on the coast, then fly to Tahiti or Fiji for a day or two, to break it up. United has had Circle Pacific fares in the past, where you could do stopovers. I'm not in international reservations now, but you can call and find out about that. They do have it in Business Class.
