Hi, I'm trying to figure out where my wife and kids (will be... 10 and 8 then) will stake out this eclipse.

There are a lot of very cloudy places for this one, all over New England and eastern Canada, but also for most of the path through the US. Mazatlan seems like maybe the best choice?

This is what I got from Time And Date for various contenders:

Mazatlan MX (cloudy 28% of the time)

Duration of totality: 4 minutes, 20 seconds

Full begins: Apr 8, 2024 at 11:07:25 am

Maximum: Apr 8, 2024 at 11:09:35 am

Full ends: Apr 8, 2024 at 11:11:45 am

San Antonio, MX / Piedras Negras, TX (cloudy 47%) (on Rio Grande)

Duration of totality: 4 minutes, 19 seconds

Partial begins: Apr 8, 2024 at 11:09:54 am

Full begins: Apr 8, 2024 at 12:27:17 pm

Full ends: Apr 8, 2024 at 1:45:37 pm

Partial ends: Apr 8, 2024 at 3:03:28 pm

Cleveland area (cloudy 63% of the time)

Duration of totality: 3 minutes, 50 seconds

Buffalo/Niagara Falls (cloudy 64% of the time)

Is anyone thinking of travelling to Exmouth WA in April 2023?

We are planning to be viewing TSE 2020 from the Argentine side of the Andes. We'll be in the area for 7 to 10 days, and are looking for input with respect to which airport to fly into. We have ruled out CPC (too tiny to have car rentals at a decent price), and the major international gateway airports (AEP, EZE, COR, MDZ) are just too far away. And I do not want to go through the hassle crossing the border with a rented car, thus SCL, ZCO and PMC are out.

What are your thoughts on flying into Neuquen (NQN) vs Bariloche (BRC)?
