I was planning a trip too, but all the hotels I looked at were totally booked more than a year ago. Happens with every total solar eclipse. By the time the general public gets interested, all hotels have been booked by space geeks. I scrapped the idea of traveling 9000 miles because I don't want to watch a partial eclipse from a truck stop somewhere in rural Idaho because hotels are booked and roads will be crowded.
