I ran into clouds at the last eclipse. It was still cool, but I didn’t get to actually see it. I was thinking of going to Texas this time around, but will end up much further north. I’m hoping I get lucky. If not, I’ll be planning some international trips around future eclipses. This is a bucket list thing for me.

I have pretty vivid memories of my first partial solar eclipse from when I was in school, but being in the path of totality was a completely different experience, and about 10,000x better, even without seeing it.
