A friend from my club who goes to every totality (they were on a clouded out cruiseship in Antarctic waters in 2021 and she is currently in Western Australia for this week's total eclipse which is far too brief for me) invited my wife and I to spend the 2024 totality at the cabin that she rented on the centreline west of San Antonio for the day. It is located a mile or two east of the path so the price was reasonable, and the plan was to drive to the centreline very early, before the crowds from San Antonio and Houston hit the road. I paid for a San Antonio cabin for three nights. Good luck and clear skies and book earlier rather than later!!! Holland-America cruises also has some openings.īTW- these are just my personal suggestions and I take no responsibility for your success or lack there of in seeing the eclipse! There are also some berths available on the Emerald Princess. Here are some tips from our local meteorologist that saw the one in 2017. I use a lot, others will recommend other sources for weather information. San Miguel de Allende looks like it's only 40 miles away from the airport.Īny other suggestions for good locations that are not too far from the airport? Or should I just stick with Dallas or Fort Worth? Problem is, they are all far from the nearest airport, so would require a 2-3 hour drive.

Better chance of good weather and maximum totality. , which says there are a lot of great locations in Mexico. Originally, I was thinking Texas, but saw this article. Planning to go to the April 2024 eclipse but trying to figure out the best place to go. Many of the warm-weather cumulus clouds will dissipate as the atmosphere cools due to the sun being partially covered before totality. The weather in Plattsburgh and Buffalo is iffy at that time of year, but I’m willing to take the risk. I know I did when I traveled 12 hours from Long Island to South Carolina, not knowing if I was going to see it or not, but the reward was well worth it, and far outweighs the risk. One thing I learned from the last eclipse, you have to have a mindset that it’s an adventure, and not a vacation or something guaranteed, because it’s solely depends on the weather that day. I saw the 2017 eclipse in Lexington SC, and I almost did not see it due to a stubborn cloud that did not want to move, but 20 min before totality, it dissipated and was able to get a clear view of the eclipse. I will be viewing in either Plattsburgh or Buffalo NY.
