A bunch of friends and I met on the Big Island years ago for a total eclipse.
It was mostly clouded over, bummer for many who had traveled from all over to experence it. But with local knowledge and some luck we were in a good spot for it.

A pretty cosmic experence, I especially remember the sounds of the birds, dogs etc.
The critters were kind of freaked out by dark coming in the middle of the day.

Funny how differently folks think about this, some travel the lengths of the earth whenever one is going to happen. Others won't bother to step outside to check it out.
My brother said the same thing but he is well out the path of totality. Doesn't want to risk his eyes.

Good luck viewing for those in the path.
