Path of Totality...
Anyone else in it? I'm about a mile from the eqi-center of the path in South Carolina. People are losing their minds. One fueling service at the airport has over a hundred planes booked for refuel tomorrow morning. People will hang out at the airport to view the eclipse and then fly right back out.
I hope its wonderful, but it's kinda like Christmas. Something to look forward to, but I'll be glad when it's done and people get back to normal.

Re: Path of Totality...
Just on the edge of the path here. Doesn't see too crazy here.

Re: Path of Totality...
I'm pretty far out from the line but we're hoping to catch what we can of it. The weather is supposed to cooperate.

Re: Path of Totality...
I drove a couple of hours to stay with my in-laws whose home is in the path. I'm excited!

Re: Path of Totality...
We are very near the path here in NC. Our city is expecting "millions" of visitors! There are signs on the freeways warning about "eclipse traffic" on Monday. I hope the roads won't be too jammed!
I scored eclipse glasses at a rest area back in February when we were traveling through IL and the county was already advertising all the fun things to do while you're there to watch the eclipse.

Re: Path of Totality...
Traffic is apparently a nightmare out there. Most of us are home until tomorrow evening. Dh has to work of course. Dd2 has to work but only from 9-11 and can take back roads to where she need to be. I'll be happy once she is home.

Re: Path of Totality...
We considered making a quick drive up to Missouri for a better view but with the traffic I'm kind of glad we didn't.

Re: Path of Totality...
I'm actually not sure how much I 'care'. It kinda came to me rather than me going to it. But deal with it I must....and try to enjoy it.

Re: Path of Totality...
This is how I feel. But I "should" be interested as it would be a great homeschool lesson for my 8 and 6 yo children. We've talked about it since it's everywhere, but I'm more concerned about keeping my toddler and preschooler from looking at the sun should we go outside.

Re: Path of Totality...
I have seen them for sale for $25-50 EACH.
We're very close, so we're going to drive a little ways to SC to the path of totality. Gonna hang out with a friend. I hope traffic isn't too terrible! I should familiarize myself with backroads. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Re: Path of Totality...
we are going to do a craft and then watch it live on the internet. I honestly don't want to chance anyone looking if the glasses fall off or they just can't get them on correctly. We are near a science observatory and they are giving away glasses, but I think we will just stay home and watch online...maybe do something fun and exciting and keep the little kids away from the windows.

Re: Path of Totality...
We will have totality for 2:34 so we are really lucky. We live in the country . In town all the hotels are booked which is crazy since there are over 30,000 rooms.
