I'm close but not quite in. My parents are near the edge (so it'll only last like a minute) so I'm going to go there tomorrow to see it, along with a friend. Only like an hour away. My brother considered it but decided not to as he's more like 3 hours away.

No, would be cool to see it but don't want to deal with the insane traffic and large crowds.

My parents and my husband and I drove 9ish hours to AR for totality. We were much closer in 2017 and only drove about an hour to see it. It was absolutely fantastic, one of the most beautiful natural events I've ever seen so we're very much looking forward to tomorrow.

That seems unnecessary. Total eclipses are rare if you wait for them to come to you, but if you're willing to travel to another continent you can see one damn near every year.

Not everyone can afford to travel to see them. Also a lot of them will literally be over the ocean or in remote places so getting to see them will be more expensive then just flying to a major city. This doesn't even include places jacking up rates because of the increased volume of people. You also will need to take a lot of time off from work which a lot of people can't do for various reasons.

I was specifically responding to "people are traveling her from another continent to see it." If they live on a different continent then there's a good chance it's a much shorter wait until the next one. And if they are traveling from a different continent, then they are by definition the people who can travel to see it.

But I do agree that anyone who can take the day off of work and reasonably drive to the path should just do it. What's going to happen at work/school that will be as memorable as this?

I live directly in the path of totality. I'll be at work, but they are planning on giving us glasses and a long break with nachos and other snacks so we can all check it out.

I'm at about 96%, which is close enough for me. Besides, I've got lots of crap to deal with right now.
