If you’ve been following the news, you know that the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse is happening on Monday, April 8.

This celestial wonder has garnered “eclipse fever” as a must-see event. Its Path of Totality is going across parts of Mexico, the Continental U.S. and Canada. There are stores on just about every aspect, from schools having early dismissals on April 8 to places holding events for observing it. There are even those making a trip out of seeing it, heading to locations mapped along its Path of Totality.

I’m heading up to Rochester to see the Solar Eclipse and to see more of this region in New York State. I visited this city for work in 2022.

Are you going to view the eclipse as well? Let me know if you are, or not, in the comments section below.
