That next one, Aug 2 2027, is going to be the best for the next ~90 years. If you see one eclipse in your life, that should be the one.

My shipboard eclipse just now was great. So I’ve booked a similar cruise for that one. We’ll be bobbing around somewhere east of Gibraltar.

But for that, a trip to Egypt would be on The List for sure.
