Anyone traveling to see the total eclipse in April?

It’s on a school night, so no.

My mom lives in Austin so we were going to go, then I looked at airfare. No way. I can normally fly to Austin from where I live for $200 or so and the fare around that weekend jumps to $600+.

More importantly, it’s a school day.

Are you going to stay in Austin to see it or drive out a bit for more totality?

Yes! My in-laws live in Ohio in the path of totality so we are having a family get together

It was amazing and I would definitely travel for it but booking feels daunting because of the potential for clouds and rain.

This is my concern. Don’t want to pay for travel if the weather is bad. I might wait until closer and then do a road trip if the weather is good.

My son lives in Houston so we're using it as an excuse to go see him. We'll go to a golf resort in Dallas for the weekend and Monday.

Too bad the best chances for good weather are in red sh*thole states.

We are going to Ohio. I am a little worried about clouds but we can’t go farther, as I only want the kids to miss one day of school. Hoping it works out.

We went in 2017, and it was truly an experience. I would highly recommend it.

This is interesting, do you know which dates are good in Cleveland?

The eclipse is on April 8.

Going just north of Syracuse.

Going somewhere in the path where I have friends to stay with and don't need to rent a car, but haven't decided where.

We're going to a friend in Vermont who lives near the center of the path. So it ought to be good, if the weather is good.

What do you mean which dates. The eclipse is in a single day. Like across one hour in the span of totality.

Going to Indianapolis. We had a blast in 2017, just outside of St. Louis.

We figure Indy is big enough to keep us busy for the weekend, even if weather ruins the eclipse experience. We're lucky in that it's a 3.5 hour drive. Booked an AirBnb nearly a year ahead of time. Sure, the kids will miss a day of school, but you're going to tell me they'll learn more in school? There's so much science involved with the eclipse and NASA is broadcasting from Indy.
