I will be going to Columbia Missouri to view this eclipse. Sadly I don't have a DSLR otherwise I would have signed up for that megamovie thing. It still won't stop me from taking lots of pictures though. This will be my third total eclipse after Shanghai (which was sadly clouded out) and Cairns (which was perfectly clear and beautiful out on the reef).

I have read that a few, less scrupulous, hotels have apparently been canceling older (made at regular rates) bookings without notice so they can sell those rooms at heavily marked up prices. So, if you haven't done so recently, it might be an idea to check the status of your bookings again just in case.

If you are driving to your viewing location, be aware that in some areas, the traffic is predicted to reach "hurricane evacuation" levels. This is especially important if your accommodation the previous night is outside of totality.

Less than 75 days to go, I am so excited.
