Andrew got out of the car and bellowed, "Put up your hand if you are driving
to the eclipse!" and he raised his own hand. He reported that approximately half
the people in the long line of traffic raised their hands.
Meantime, there was a melt-down for some at the Sydney domestic terminal
this morning when both the Jetstar and Virgin Blue check-in systems crashed.
There were long delays at the check-in counters which backed-up the system,
including for incoming aircraft awaiting a spot at the gate. The system is online again.
