I was three years ago when I lived in MA. We planned a trip to NY to see the total eclipse.

We've since moved to Tennessee and will be well within the 80% totality swath. And that's good enough for me.

Even 99% totality is nothing compared to 100%.With anything less than 100%, you will still be in daylight. Only a full total eclipse gives that feeling that you just saw a divine intervention- the moment the full disk of the moon completely blocks out the sun and the stars come out and there is sunset 360 degrees all around.

We travelled to Knoxville, TN for the last one and I hope to get to this one.

If you can get into the path of totality, do it and don't think anything less will do.

There is an enormous difference between being in the area of totality and being able to see the filaments and stars - with the interaction of the wildlife - and being outside it.

Even NASAs cameras do a poor job of capturing what you can see with the naked eye.
