I already got one thing done this year

But it’s not even relevant until next year. I’ve had a reminder in my phone since the last solar eclipse in the US in 2017 to book a hotel for the next one, in 2024. Reminder was set for simply “2023” and guess what! My longest standing reminder checked off.

My daughter, who was not quite 3 the last time, was really sad that one didn’t come to our house. So I promised her we’d go see the next one. She kept asking about it for like two years after that too.

So I just now booked a hotel in Austin, TX for the days around the eclipse in April, 2024. Because Austin is just barely in the path and I like Austin. Haven’t been since before she was born. We’re gonna go not see the sun! Eventually.

What’d you get done so far?
