I have to +1. Got somewhat dragged to totality by my girlfriend at the time with a bunch of her friends. It wasn't my prime idea of a long weekend but she and her friends were insanely excited, and she was always very supportive of me, so I went along with minimal grumbling (including when we woke up at 4:30a that morning to go from our campgrounds to an open lake area to make sure we got a good spot).

Any ounce of annoyance I might have been harboring evaporated when the eclipse went from 99% to 100%. It was insane how incredible of an experience it was, and so suddenly. To feel this intense connection to other people who had seen it, or are seeing it...people were screaming and whooping, it was just incredible.

I had driven a full car to the totality zone ~3 hours. I wasn't even mad that the drive home took 7 hours instead. I just had a big grin on my face, it was so worth it.
