See the August Total Solar Eclipse

A spectacular astronomical event will captivate the country on August 21,  a total solar eclipse!  The eclipse will be visible, at least in partial form, to the vast majority of the country.  The path of the eclipse viewing area takes a winding course across the United States.  The areas where the total eclipse will be visible includes several major cities; including one of my favorites- Nashville, TN!  If you are within driving distance to one of these cities, it will be worth a road trip to see the eclipse- as such a sight will not be seen again for decades.

The eclipse will happen on a Monday afternoon, so this is the perfect opportunity to make a long weekend in a great getaway city like Nashville!  See the legendary home of Country Music and enjoy the eclipse!  I can create custom hotel packages including accommodations and tours, to sites like the Hermitage, the Corvette Museum and the Johnny Cash Museum!




Unlike most astronomical events, this one will take place during daylight hours (obviously) and so you don't need to worry about finding dark-sky country.  Usually this means avoiding big cities.  You will, however, need special viewing equipment to see the eclipse safely.  These goggles are much better than they flimsy glasses you'll find for sale elsewhere.  The eye cups block out distracting light from your peripheral vision and will enhance your eclipse viewing experience!  Plus they're totally steampunk cool!
Buy Eclipse Viewing Goggles on Amazon!

Hotels in the total eclipse viewing area are already selling out. Systems are showing no availability at all in Charleston, SC the southernmost point of the totality viewing area.  If you intend to make the journey, you'll want to make reservations today for hotel rooms, no matter where your destination.  I can help you do that!  Just give me a call at 844-719-7802 or schedule an appointment for me to call you.
