With a plan in hand, it’s then just a question of getting everything booked in time to be ready for your road trip. You don’t want to miss out on something because you need to be in the next city by 5pm. I would also advise against trying to be in a new city every day.ĭriving is tiring, and you want to make sure you have time to really explore all the places you are visiting. When working out how long it will take to drive from A to B I suggest factoring in an extra 25-50 per cent.ĭuring my trip, I kept getting distracted by interesting roadside attractions, or found myself stopping at the side of the road just to gawk at the scenery. If you can arrange your journey to be a loop you can save yourself some money, as most car rental companies charge extra for returning a car to a different city.
Plot out this journey and see what other interesting areas are along the way that could be worth a stop whether that’s cities, museums, parks, or dark spots that might give you the opportunity for some astrophotography. With the day of the eclipse sorted, start looking for places of interest around your base location. Work out which attractions you most want to see. Make sure to find out when you can book, as the best locations will sell out in minutes. Most hotels only let you book a few months to a year in advance. Once you’ve picked your location, it’s never too early to start sussing out accommodation. The eclipse is longest on the central line (red). You MUST be somewhere within the central path (between the blue lines) to see the total phase of the eclipse. The northern and southern path limits are blue and the central line is red.
Stay in the city to admire the art, museums and architecture or head out into the surrounding countryside to harvest your own maple syrup. This interactive Google map 1 shows the path of the Total Solar Eclipse of 2024 Apr 08.
