If you do travel for the eclipse, be prepared for the traffic. We went to Nashville for the last one. Our 4 hour drive home took 10 hours! When my husband went to work the next morning, the traffic on I-75 was still bumper to bumper. But the party and the eclipse were spectacular. Besides the viewing glasses, we got a couple pairs of special eclipse binoculars. Have dug them out so we're ready for this one.
