I think being in 100% totality would make all the difference. I was in like 60 or 70 percent totality and while it was neat, and I’m happy I got to experience it, it wasn’t insanely awesome.
As a kid I saw an annular solar eclipse (ring of fire) and thought it was pretty neat, but I wasn’t that excited for the recent total eclipse. Decided that I might as well just drive the few hours to give my young son the full experience.
WOW what a difference it made when that last sliver of sun got eclipsed. Incomparable.
Yes, being in totality is a completely different experience. Imagine looking up at the sky into a twilight, where a black hole ringed with ghostly white light hovers eerily where the sun once was. It’s truly otherworldly

Dang! I should’ve taken my kids out of school and driven them 100 miles to see the totality! I may never get another chance like that.
Have you ever seen a sunset in 360 degrees around you, everywhere you looked?
I have.
It’s worth travelling for. There will be more coming!
Huge difference.

And the temperature and sound changes too. Also it’s pretty neat to be in a crowd for a moment of communal awe.
