So where will you go? A copy of our ebook, 100 Best Places in the USA to Watch the Total Solar Eclipse of August 21, 2017 will help you – as will the suggestion-packed ebook The USA Eclipse 2017 Travel Guide.
If you need a hotel, consider Missouri – Columbia, but also Kansas City and St Louis (though be very careful in these two cities because the Path of Totality only grazes them, so you will still need some transport to enjoy a long Totality). Nashville in Tennessee still has plenty of rooms, as do Greenville and Columbia in South Carolina.
