Thanks dreamer042 - I forgot all about that option. I'm leaving in a couple hours and am glad I checked back here before I left.
Yeah, eclipse. I used to not think it any big deal but the closer it gets the more I wish I was going to be in a better location. Cincinnati OH isn't great but it's not any worse than where I'm flying out of. I read in the NYT that to truly experience the eclipse, you needed to be right on the line of the path. It said something like even if you are in a location that will have 95% of the sun blocked, you only experience 50% of the effect. I'm probably not wording it correctly but the point was that even just a little light shining through will prevent you from seeing the "sunset surrounds me" effect. I heard someone on the radio who experienced the last one. She said something to the effect of it being both creepy/terrifying and incredibly beautiful. Hope you got a good spot picked out.
