Watched the eclipse in Columbia SC- on Lake Murray in a pontoon boat. We were planning to head to Lexington/Columbia anyway as it is just a 50 mile drive. Then a last minute invite from my cousin put us in an incredible spot in the middle of the lake with hundreds of other boaters. I was absolutely awestruck! We were rooting for the folks in Charleston where it seemed most of the rain was!
This eclipse now goes on my Top Ten Life Experiences list!
I am definitely considering Chile for 2019!!!

Despite all of the angst I went through — many hours of traffic and pouring rain — I would do it all over again without hesitation.
I wished I could tell those who only saw a partial solar eclipse that they were not missing anything — but I would be blatantly lying to them.
If you have the opportunity to see a total solar eclipse, accept no less than 100 percent totality — lest you be disappointed.
Chile on July 2, 2019, anyone?
