We're glad we went. And glad to know that 2024 totality is under an hour away. And a college fraternity brother who works for NASA is 2 hours away, nearly dead center, with 3:51 of totality. I've already told him we'll be there.

I would agree with the above - it's worth the effort to make a trip to see it. Especially if you're close. The difference between 100% and 99% is like, well, literally night and day....
