Traffic in Waco seemed…. Much ado about nothing. Our friend drove to dfw after eclipse and was fine. He said today was a no school day so much less traffic. Maybe more people cancelled their travel?!?!

I posted on usa / Omni - Waco hotel was great for viewing and indeed clouds disappeared or at least stopped blocking the sun so that we enjoyed our 4 minutes of totality. I removed my eclipse glasses and filmed the totality.

wearing eclipse glasses and looking into the sky has made me feel like the days of dilated pupils after the ophthalmologist. Plus sluggish. We had a late 4:30p Linner. I’m in pjs and seeking a nap at 6:30. Our flight home is 10p Tuesday out of dfw because it was cheaper than flights before 10p. There might be WX yet only change options are connections. We will take our chances.

yes so totally worth it all and we did do other great things since 4/1 so clouds weren’t going to ruin anything for me.
